So guys do I need a title for my creative writing?
I believe it is a requirement. I heard that you wont get marks for having one, but you will be deducted 1 mark for not having one.

In my trials the marker shredded me. I was like after the exam to everyone my creative has the best title! Than the marker wrote that "the title did not relate to your story at all and you would be better off without a title than that one" lol. Now I have learnt my lesson of to think of a title before writing the first thing that comes to my head

I know you aren't meant to get into the excellent band without a conclusion.

What does sententia mean, i cant find a clear definition online.
According to collins dictionary

(literary) an opinion, idea, thought, or aphorism, whether written or spoken; a maxim or proverb

Device: Sententia. Origin: From the Latin, meaning “feeling” or “thought” or “opinion”. In plain English: The use of a famous proverb, maxim, quotation or saying to support one's argument. Effect: Using a proverb, etc. adds credibility to your words.Sep 18, 201

I can almost guarantee that there's no hard and fast rule like that at HSC marking.
