imagine if they specify discursive AND do a reflection......... nah im jk thats a low chance of it happening. and if it does happen somehow just thug it out and write some bs down so at least you still get marks!!!!!!! thats what im doing anyway

The most annoying part of english is that I have engineering studies the day after, it has been a battle between an okay mark in English and an actually good one in engineering. One can only hope.

i saw this "The question will require an imaginative, discursive, persuasive, informative or reflective response." my teacher didnt even teach us informative or reflective so i doubt they will specify discursive

Look I think NESA knows that if they prevent people from doing an imaginative all they are doing is killing people. The worst you could get is a question which obviously favours a discursive. But again, those three witches up in their big tower always have something cooking. Just look what they did to the 2021 kids. They made them sit the bloody exam during lockdown! unprecedented!

Does anyone do Plath and Hughes for Mod A? Do you think they will specify certain poems to do without giving us the extract?

I'll rather have the choice to do any essay even if there is a disease about rather than have to do smth I have not prepared

wait guys im memorising my imaginative its about a guy rediscovering his interest in writing books and then he gets worried that hes not gonna succeed then gets a writers block for a while, and then in the end he starts to be able to think of story ideas and publishes a book cause he has motivation again. do you guys think that would be enough for mod c tomorrow or nah!!! i mean i could adapt........ (somehow. i'll find a way)

They have asked for a 'reflective' piece before hand. But all that is is a personal essay or a discursive piece that reflects on past events and itself. Soooo literally just a personal essay, as you cannot write a discursive or personal essay about something that has not happened yet. And you cannot write about something that has happened in the past without being 'reflective', so it is a bit redundant.

A specified discursive on nature is so specific considering the whole state has to do it. That would be fucked

may as well be prepared for the question that is speculated even if there is a low chance of happening

Good idea, very metafictive, but really tease out the struggle of writing. You probably dont have to conclude with him publishing or anything. Find a motif that you find interesting–or else use the stimulus as a motif (who knows that it will be) that talks about writing. Have you read column mccans "what time is it?" or else Nam Le's "love and honour" (that one is a bit too long)
