I found that was actually around the same level of difficulty as last years. Went pretty well, liked how the essay topics were open ended. But was soo pushed for time!!

Good sa questions. good ac text, good prompts. For the first question, I dl did not back up my social purposes with examples. Hopefully this is ok. essay seemed a bit rushed but hopefully it turned out ok

Good! Heaps to talk about. I prefer doing written ACs than spoken so worked out well :)

Tbh I thought it was one of the easiest exams they’ve done, just had to rush the essay because I was pressed for time. Hopefully I can still get a 40, but overall I’m pretty happy with how it went

Really good,  love the section A had easy questions but yeah as someone mentioned earlier didn't back up my social purpose with examples.  I did the ac first, they  couldn't have chosen a better text had graphics,  headings lots of elevated and subject specific lexis and a few colloquialisms! Essay I was running out of time managed an intro and two paragraphs but it wasnt the most compelling stuff. Hopefully I make up for that in the previous two sections. For those who can do the study score thing😜,  what do you think I'll get after getting a 65% sac average and maybe 70-80% on the exam?

No idea about the SACs since every school assesses differently and some schools have had pretty dodgy SACs for EngLang I think.

However, your exam score should net you high 30s.
