btw anyone have a rough idea on how many marks you would lose for not including a conclusion?

They don't mark like that. Marking is a synthesis of all the elements of your essay. In reality it's probably one or two /15 but it really depends on the rest of your essay, what level you're writing at, etc.

Was a little thrown off by

1) lack of explicitly mentioning the word "belonging"
2) all the short responses being 3 marks
3) the essay question in general

But I think it went alright, hope I wrote enough :)

how do you think the marks will be allocated for the 6 marker? and if you wrote two texts do they just take the better one? (urgh so frustrated i actually saw it only wanted one text but in the stress of the exam completely misread it the second time :( )

4 marks for the analysis
2 for structure

I'm guessing that

I'm keen to know the mark allocation too.

I wrote about 4 points, with an intro and a conc (only one body tho). ~2 pages

The brunette one?

She was like a 7/10 atleast if not 7.5.

But I did say extent don't forget.
I know the one you mean, meh

The examiners were not the type of people I expected tho, the one i talked to to go to toilet was super nice.

I was expecting older, retired teachers.
