I was (extremely) lucky.  When I did my writing task, it was a topic I already wrote about before. Issues in the News from The Age was a good resource

Getting pissed because an exam didn't go your way: strong maturity.
✌️just do what makes you happy ✌️

This might help!

It went better than I expected, although the writing topics were horrible, one was about Neighbours and another about should we pay for elite athletes. Altogether I guessed around 20-30 questions. Royal Exhibition center is also very cold!!! :p

I did not know it was tomorrow! Good luck everyone!

I remember it being kinda warm when I sat it, but then I was sitting close-ish to a heater and my sister who had sat exams there before had warned me about the cold beforehand.
