No, I wasn’t in the camp of rote learning/memorising creatives to regurgitate and adapt in the exam, I preferred to do it on the spot in the exam based on my knowledge.
I found that whilst memorising would’ve been okay for AoS in the old syllabus, it really feels like putting a square peg in a round hole in mod C.

I agree 100%, but thought maybe you had some practice ones.

In other words, I completely winged mod C and that's my justification for it.

I'm not even entirely sure what I ended up writing about in my HSC - it definitely wasn't a creative, that's for sure.

You shouldn’t be aiming for a band 4 but rather a band 6 no matter how good/bad you are at that subject. Limiting yourself to a band 4 will restrict your chances of you getting a band 5/6.

Not 'aiming', but that is the bare minimum I need to get. I was hoping that people will tell me that the Band 4 is fairly easy to get if decent effort is put in. 😀
