Wow and to add to my frustration at the lack of strict monitoring at my school- that same girl I was talking about who got the prompts AHEAD OF TIME who is doing her sac MORE THAN 2 WEEKS AFTER EVERYONE ELSE has "prewritten" her essay, has had it proof read by her brother who is in uni, AND is going to copy it word for word onto her SAC. Not only is she already a reasonable English student- to have numerous advantages as well is just absurd. Don't even ask me how she hasn't been caught yet, if you know why, tell me so I can do something about it without seeming like a "dibber dobber". :@

just relax and realise it is something out of your hands.. do the best you can do and worry about yourself, not others and you will be fine

I know it's out of my hands, but just pointing out something that really frustrated me :P

Don't they moderate the sacs based on your result in your exam? Like, say if you get an A in English and mostly cs and ds in the sacs, don't they scale that up? Or that only applies in some subjects, like methods?

But I do hate it when we are always given like a few days to think about the sac prompt, I honestly thought that won't actually help us in the end of the year where there are no breaks you just keep writing. I work best when I keep writing otherwise I tend to change my opinions over time.

You get the prompt in advance! Whaaaat. That's amazing.

That was my exact reaction in the beginning of the year!

But then, since I was always busy studying with other subjects, doing the planning or probably the whole essay itself tend to give me confusion because of the clashing of ideas in my head. That's why my opinion changed.
