hope everyones first day at school was swell. i sat my first english trials (paper 1) today, leading up to the exam it was really nervewracking, doesn't help that it was like 13 degrees this morning so my hand felt soooo cold but legit as soon as the 10 minutes reading time began i was totally locked in. managed to write the most bullshit ive ever written in my entire education career but it felt good walking out of the door that i was 1/6 done with my internal exams. my essay question was something like: "to what extent does george orwell convey desire as a fundamental human experience in 1984" ... and if you guys have read 1984 you would probs understand my feeling of "WTF" when i read that question lulul i was like... desire, where??? i ended up just writing about desire for change that culminates in false hope, desire for control by the party and a selfconscious desire for self-autonomy or something dumb idk all my vocabulary went out the window as soon as i started writing :p

keep up with your studies guys and do lots of practice papers and questions !!! although trials are super scary, it legit all washes away when you're in the exam and your brain just goes instant fight mode LOL

wait for mod c, how cooked would I be if i end up writing like a 500-600 piece even if its a 20 marker. Currently my mod c setup is banking on the fact that we get the creative piece and reflection. Do markers tend to get mad if u dont 'extend' your piece if the question is a sole 20 marker for creative? I just cba rn to do that cause I care more about the essays.

You could lose a few marks, for me atleast I did, but it depends how good your actual piece. like if you can achieve all the marking criteria that the markers look for and form an engaging piece, it can make up for the marks you lose cos ur writing is short, if not your kinda cooked. Surely you can makeup 200 words on the spot using the stimulus they give you?
