How did you go? Thoughts on Paper 1 and Paper 2? Meet expectations? Did you finish?

Personally, I really liked paper 1 and managed to finish with 7 minutes to spare! the mark distribution was really good for the unseen, and the common mod question was broad enough that you could really relate it to anything.

Paper 2, the mod a question for rich 3rd/l4r was NOT expected, it was a big shock and I looked at my friend... like what was that! either way, I managed to manipulate my points and finish the full writing booklet.

Mod b and c I really enjoyed, I think there was heaps of room to discuss a plethora of ideas.

I take Standard English. English Paper two was relatively alright but the creative I was shocked at. It was to develop an idea about luck from a stimulus quote. I thought the idea of luck was a little uncreative, but others seemed to have liked it.
