my creative story:

youra essay is shite, my teacher sayed. i go on boarding of study and sea every1 saying fuck u omed. i cry with streetboy. i donot belonging.

 

[hayabusaboston]

GAWD can sum1 pls giv sum construktiv critcsm?

I chose the image of the girl and grocery bags, and how well does this kind of story fit in with question? was it something about rejection of a place to belong? cant remember. I tried my best to incorporate as much as I could, of conflicting notions of belonging.

 

[loversinjapan]

My creative is about a young boy from a rural town who falls in love with a double bass and plays at the Opera House.

Nek minnet BoSers quoted by SMH.
Overall went alright, didn't write much again (slow writer) but improved heaps from trials imo.
Did anyone else notice they didn't mention the word belonging in S1?

But...belonging is done. Forever.

Yur rite. Wow. Fuck.

Fak u, never. Even if I got 70 ATAR, would not repeat/10.

 

[YouKnowWho]

No offense, but how do you run out of time in this exam. There are clocks or people you can ask the time from. There are three sections. 40 minutes each. You've already done a trial. How does one simply leave a creative out or leave all the short answers?!
Did you not listen to your teachers?

Short answer > Essay > Creative. You can fudge the end of a creative, but not lose those crucial marks in shortans + essay.

Oh well, too late

I didn't even look at the time once <> Oh well, it is indeed too late.

Please. Stop. With. Mixing. Numbers. With. Words.
If you can, also try to avoid slicing off vowels here and there. It's painful to read, even if it's an online forum. Contractions are fine in moderation, but try to limit their use.

As for your choice of stimulus, I didn't do the exam, so I can only give an overview.
- If you mixed in clean, concise ideas of belonging and concepts related to it, you should be able to do well.
- If you made references to the stimulus, you're gold.
- If you made a COHESIVE story which flows as the marker skims over it, you should be diamond or stardust, whichever is fancier.
