I was also seriously contemplating this during reading time but I knew if I went for three I would sacrifice a detailed analysis, and plus, my handwriting would have been atrocious in trying to keep up with the time.Loved the creative (did Crime Writing btw)...it fit my prepared story like hand in glove all I had to do was pretty much rewrite it the way it was, although I altered it to include a familial bond to make the connection more 'significant'.
The essay was alright, was pretty rigorous but better than previous questions. I know it said "at least two related" and although I knew three I still went for two...maybe should have done more since the question said 'at least'.
Same, I do After the Bomb as well. I felt I answered the question really well tbh. Just not sure whether the markers will judge on for only using two related texts.ATB question was great. It freaked me out for the first 10 seconds, then realised that power was a recurring motif in all my texts and characters... well they're in all texts.
True, but then it took me like 45 mins to do my creative and I started to regret not doing three since my essay took 1 hr to write, giving me and extra 15 mins I could have used to churn out one more paragraph.I was also seriously contemplating this during reading time but I knew if I went for three I would sacrifice a detailed analysis, and plus, my handwriting would have been atrocious in trying to keep up with the time.
In hindsight, I believe my essay is definitely strong enough to receive a mark in the A box tbh... I'm just not sure whether it would've been a high A box had I done three related texts.True, but then it took me like 45 mins to do my creative and I started to regret not doing three since my essay took 1 hr to write, giving me and extra 15 mins I could have used to churn out one more paragraph.
Doubt it, I reckon most of the state would have done twoSame, I do After the Bomb as well. I felt I answered the question really well tbh. Just not sure whether the markers will judge on for only using two related texts.
Hmm now that I think about it...maybe it was better off writing a solid band 6 essay rather than risking quality for quanitity. Personally, I get a bit superstitious when trying to predict my marks XDIn hindsight, I believe my essay is definitely strong enough to receive a mark in the A box tbh...

Inb4 e4 cut off requires three related texts lolDoubt it, I reckon most of the state would have done two
I agree but I'm definitely confident with mine being at least decent lolHmm now that I think about it...maybe it was better off writing a solid band 6 essay rather than risking quality for quanitity. Personally, I get a bit superstitious when trying to predict my marks XD
