For my context (I&B), I found that using an expository/creative approach was best. I went to a NEAP lecture for English about a month before the exam, and he reinforced that the expository form is in some ways better so you could introduce the universal, conceptual ideas you want to as a topic sentence, and then go into the text you studied. However, by adding the creative part, I found it made my writing more interesting, and that spin on your piece may give you an advantage.

Well folks, there you have it. Two English 48's, two expository/creative essays. Now go and practise!
