Thank you for the very nice intro and for module C I would recommend writing a narrative based upon an idea that is timeless, it has to have a key idea that is pronounced through each part of the text. For example, for my narrative I wrote upon the loss of a loved one and how its significance affectws the flow and nature of life creating a journey for the character who tries to uncover the meaning of mortality an living and how they interconnect to each other.

How do you get good marks in a discursive? cause since its not imaginative, you can't really use show not tell and figurative language can you?, and isn't that what mainly gets you the marks for imaginative?

business rn im going thru the syllbus and making sure i genuinely understand each heading. Then I'm going to start memorising the actual syllabus points and their order etc. I've also been doing a few past papers and a lot of essays to get ready. I can say ive perfected the art of fabricating statistics

literally me too, walked intro trials with no prepared case studies and pulled through with a 19/20 for my essay

you can use some figurative language and descriptions in ur discursive - ive seen a cool one in a sample that was a hybrid style. You still want to be using metaphors, similes, rhetorical qs, experimentation with words and positioning, differed sentence structure, deliberate punctuation, anecdotes, personal voice and prononouns etc. Its just more of a discussion.

i wont lie it definitely could've been harder but i sat the independent paper and the multiple choice was shit

i try and do 3 case studies per paragraph and make sure their all succinct with each other so that when i reference different things in the paragraph i can integrate them back and forth without dropping it one sentnece and not referring back to it, from feedback ive gotten, my teacher has said this makes for a more cohesive response, which means u can hit the a range marks, my advice would be just to spend like a good 5 minutes for planning out your response and where u can stick the case studies examples in, you could even steal them from the short answer or multiple choice, just refer to an actual business that may use that example.

statisics don't even have to be exact just make them sound realistic, like apple making $600 billion in net profit sounds ridiculous, and the hsc markers will see right through it, it'd help to use smaller businesses as examples bc the hsc markers know their shit when it comes to apple, qantas, and mcdonalds, so its harder for them to see through the fake example and then this also makes ur response not look exactly like the last 10 responses they've just marked lmao

yea this guy who used to go to my school did hsc a few years ago and blitzed bisos. apparently you dont need actual stats but you should make them sound realistic so that the marker doesnt subconsciously bias against you. but im not taking his word for it
