Expository or creative?

What are most of you guys doing for section B of the exam?
My teacher has always suggested creative, for some reason she hates expository essays, and so far I did pretty good in SACs. However, I hear that its a lot easier to get a decent mark in expository and creative pieces rarely succeed so I'm not sure what to do :(
What is everyone planning to do? :)

I'm most likely doing expository.
An english exam assessor during a lecture stated that he predicted only 5-6 of the people in the room(approx. 120) would get a high mark doing a creative.

I've been writing creative all year as well so I probably will write creatively in the exam although i am feeling a little insecure about it since everyone is saying you'll lose marks everywhere. But it's all i've practiced all year so i might as well

mix it up a bit; you dont necessarily have to stick strictly to one form.

A good creative beats a good expository 10/10 times. But it is much easier to do well with expository than it is with creative. I wouldn't risk it unless you have done the question before.

a mix of creative and expository, try and make one that you can mold into any prompt.
