I had English today too and I spent so much time on my creative writing that I had only 15mins to write my essay, I could have done better.

Had English AoS exam today. I spent too long on the essay, that i wasn't able to finish the last question of the short answer. I hate discovery! Belonging was much easier for me.

i wrote really quick, i had my mod a intro all remembered and topic sentences of body paragraphs so i got it done in about 30mins, the listening took about 20mins so i had a lot of time left for creative and finishing up

30mins? That's pretty quick, when I had an essay that was due to be written in class it took me at least 50 mins. Also one of the reasons why I took so long in my creative because I was trying to come up with a name for each of the two characters in my story.

I think the best order to do Paper 1 is:
(1) Section 1 (SA)
(2) Section III (Essay)
(3) Section II (Creative)

You can still do pretty well with shorter creatives, but less so for incomplete SA questions or shorter essays.

But yeah guys, if you still haven't finished a section after 45 minutes (or so), best to just skip it (i.e. finish last sentence and move on).

Tips for half yearlies. Memorise all the answers off past hsc/school trials/half yearlies. Chances the school copied and pasted some questions :)

True lol, or at least they will be extremely similar.
I went through bio past papers yesterday and had a few questions in my test today which were almost exactly the same :')
