I know. It's hard. I am supposed to write a 2000 word essay.... and it's now 4000 wordsLol how can they not notice when you are 50% over limit? Try being more concise?
there's just too much information to decide what is needed and what isn't. 
Everyone writes at different speeds, but I find my best essays sit in the 900-1100 range.
I find I spend less time on the creative writing since it's usually just coming straight out of the memory bank and the reading tasks are usually done within the 40 minute time frame.In the HSC, for Belonging, I got about 1500 words (that's because I spent like 35 mins on reading task, 30 mins on creative, and hence had 55 mins for essay).
For Paper Two, I reckon about 1200 words. I write relatively quickly.
If you're writing 1050 words in 40 mins - that's fine. That's about the average. But people have received full marks with 900 words though, so if you're writing less than 1050, there is no need to worry.
But I've finished making notes on the first chapter of bio....which our teacher told us to do, done some maths revision, starting business and legal summary notes....so i don't stress too much for the half-yearly's coming up at end of trm 1 
was frankenstein a good read and how did you find blade runner?
Is it advisable to watch it at home aswell or just watch it in class?
yeah i enjoyed blade runner too
i shall start on reading Frankenstein though haha
Watch it at home, all in one go. It's unlikely you will watch it at school all in one go.
I actually refrained for the first two weeks to get some rest and get my mind back together... but I've been prevented from doing any decent work because of all my shifts at KFC. I finally have some days off and I'm planning to finish my Chemistry assessment and write an essay for English.
