Hi Jamon,
Did you use 5 quotes from one text and 5 quotes from another text for the 5 marker synthesis aos question...? Advice please
Thank you :)

Assuming that you're pretty close to finishing both sections, and hypothetically you had 5 minutes left, I'd say you'd be better off splitting your time equally; write a conclusion for your essay first (even if its just 2 sentences) and then try to finish your creative off in a sentence or two in the best way that you can. That's the best way to maximise your marks in a tough situation. Finishing off your essay perfectly might give you a 13/15 instead of 12/15, but your creative would suffer if its left mid-sentence with no attempt at concluding it. :)

Hey CherryRed! Just pulled out my 15/15 Section 1 from my CSSA Trial, and yep! 10 quotes across two paragraphs, but I did integrate, so both texts were in both paragraphs. But yep, 10 quotes equivalent ;D

I massively agree with this!! ;D though I think that most people are better off doing their essay first, because a short creative will usually perform better than a short essay ;D

Main tips would probably be to figure out your times beforehand. Plan out how much time you're willing to leave yourself per 2 mark or 3 mark question so that you don't take time away from other things.
