The games section doesn't actually count towards your total posts unfortunately :/

Hey Jamon, I have reached the 20 points :)

This means you only need 10 more! You can do this easily by asking or answering questions, making your first post and hopping on general discussion threads.

Unfortunately the games section does not count towards your post count but all the other things above do :D

Good Job Mate!!!!

Do we get a free ATAR notes textbook if we come like first on yearly!!! Its going to actually be extremely beneficial after HSC. I recon they should make one for IPT

Anyway Back to Creative writing... How many words should it be around. I have 1000 words, is it possible to complete it in time?

I think it should be less than 1000 because you still have the comprehension and essay sections to complete in 2 hours. So if you can cut it down I reckon it will be better.

Well it depends whether you are going in with a prepared response or not.

If you are.. You have 35 minutes to write 1000 words. (5 mins working with stimulus). This is achievable if you can write fast. I dont know how fast you can write but I can only write 800 or so in 35 minutes.

If you are not.. You are leaving yourself with 30 minutes or less. (Plan for 10, write for 30) I would not recommend it in this case.

Having said that though, you are expected in Module B (Close/Critical study of texts) to write approximately 1000 words in 40 minutes and I can almost do that (I take 45 mins

Hope this helps!

If I lessen any part of my Creative it will not be a band 6 response anymore.... I cant afford it

I would just recommend only spending 30-35 minutes on the short answers so you have the extra time up your sleeve for the creative. Personally, i would leave it last to see how much time I've got left, but if you tend to go overtime, do it first.

My creative was around 1100 words and I managed to get it out during trials. I did have to edit the end a little to make sure I finished in time, but it was probably only around 50 words less. This is coming from someone who can only get around 950 words max in a 40 minute essay, so it is possible you just have to know how fast you can write.

I agree with studybuddy7777 on spending less time on short answers so you can have the extra time for the essay or creative. In trials I left my creative last because I was going in with a prepared one and I could work it to the stimulus and question given.
