heeduo4life there is loads of things to work on, things that can't be accomplished in the matter of 3 days which is why u never leave anything to the last minute. Last week should be mainly for revising, not learning anything new.

heeduo4life i dont think you have really researched or put any time at all into learning or researching, we will be writing a creative and a persuasive, not an essay

heeduo4life isnt it persuasive and narrative though?
and i thought an essay was when u analyse a book and write...

I think you shouldn't be worried as long as u get this:
Persuasive- pick 1 side of the topic and write about it. dont switch sides. e.g if the prompt is everyone should learn how to cook, you pick yes or no.
Discussion- Write arguments for both sides and stay neutral.
Creative- Write a narrative or story or something were u use ur imagination.

And, if there is just a prompt that doesn't say what type of piece to write, look for key words that could hint which type of piece to write.

    i dont think the examiners will give you an ambiguous prompt, obviously they will tell you which ones is persuasive

      MMHS im pretty sure ur right but better safe than sorry

      this may sound weird but do you guys know any type of pen i should use for the writing component of the test. Like what brand??

        This may sound a very weird and out of box question but when you are revising your persuasive and creative texts and see a mistake then how would you correct it because after cutting it you wont have any space to write it again. I normally make a small arrow and write on top of the cutted words but i dont know if the AI would be able to understand it. Maybe it can even mark it as a spelling mistake..
        So, how do you all edit your text while revising?

          :): The writing is marked by humans while the mcq is marked by AI. So you can write anyway for the marker to understand.

            rlly? I thought it was by an AI, that's why I was improving my handwriting so much !
            Just out of curiousness, how do u know though because i am pretty sure it's not mentioned anywhere..

              :): 1. Ive sat multiple mock exams in preparation to this where markers check the paper same as in a JAC normal class. But also all my tution teachers have said the same thing.

                wait.. what if u select the wrong multiple choice question? usually, i would cross out the one i think is wrong and draw a bunch of arrows and ticks around/pointing to the one i think is right, tho i dont think an AI will get that

                Average Guy actually thats incorrect David Page, it completeley depends on how many people are in that specific school
