dw guys, it's only 2 hours for paper 2. if you know your stuff well it shouldn't actually be that difficult to write 3 essays on 3 completely different topics.

I'm not doing two papers for English this year - we're doing a Paper 1-equivalent. Not looking forward to next year though.

The BOS is currently considering merging the two papers into a single 3-hour exam, with Sections I and II common and a separate Section III handed out. This will only take effect from 2010 at the earliest though :(

Forbidden. said:
wouldnt you be more worried about not being permitted to write 3 essays but instead an interview transcript for example?

Rock On
Especially those radio interviews. They really take you by surprise if you've been anticipating for an essay.
