In general, its all about PRACTICE! What are you doing if it's only 15 minutes?
MHS/Mac.Rob/Cory/Nossal entrance exam
Nobody can tell you how to write a creative piece, that's sort of the point of the exercise.
+1
A basic analytical approach is as follows (the one I used for yr7 selective/scholarship prep):
Intro (3 lines)
What is the issue?
Where is the problem? How is it a problem?
Why is there a need to fix it (your contention should come in here)? How do you approach the issue (present both sides if it asks you to; don't if it doesn't though)?
Conclusion (2-3 lines)
^Thats fairly basic, but it always gets the job done for these exams

With the pictures, I am pretty sure you don't have to use all of them. Again though, its all about practice and there are infinite ways to write a creative response successfully. My way of practicing was to just take pictures and try and create links between them. Example from the top of my head:

A link between these could be:
A firefighter who is driving in a city (coming back from a job in his firetruck), stops at a STOP sign, sees someone else being mauled by a dog. Uses the fire hydrant (and his own firefighting hose) to get rid of the dog and save the person. The end.
^Okay, thats a pretty lame and basic example skeleton of a story. But in the exam, they are not expecting a Dan Brown novel in 15 mins. Sometimes its good to keep things simple. After
a while practice, you'll be able to string a basic story together from any 3 or 4 pics.
Worst ending though, for any essay, is to say "and he woke up, and it was all just a dream". That's a recipe for failure...
