ENGLISH ADV - PAPER ONE (3 Viewers)

i didn't get the first one

I really liked that paper tbh, it wasnt unreasonable in the slightest

The first short answer was a little iffy, but the rest was reasonable to draw conclusions from
The essay question was pretty class tbh, I made sure to stay true to the question, so hopefully that goes well

Overall, slightly nervous, but happy, could have been a lot worse (looking at you 2022 paper 1)

Paper 1 was generally alright except question 5 in my opinion, how tf do u extrapolate ‘being in the moment’ from a bloody apricot? What even is ‘being in the moment?’

The short answers were so nice I actually feel alright about them, that essay q was kinda meh though I still got my full essay out and wrote 8 pages but I feel like I didn’t really adapt to the question the way I should’ve idk

I'm actually so happy right now, my essay was good and I finished everything in literally the perfect timing. Did the essay in just under 45 and didn't feel too rushed with the unseen texts. That text 5 poem was annoying though

 

[jc7726]

I did essay first and only got like 3/4 through the last short answer q i hated that question

 

[jc7726]

who else is ready to absolutely fail tomorrow because that's the hard one and you haven't prepared enough

It was so annoying I kinda interpreted it as that "being in the moment" was to just enjoy the simple things (taste/feel of the apricot) rather than searching for a greater meaning/symbolism in it.... I was fumbling so bad though

i was waffling some shit about the link between sensory experience and perception of the moment i have no idea

 

[dsakvyilsa]

I didnt realise the writing booklets were 8 pages I did 7 pages in the booklet and then finished my essay off in a second booklet before realising there was an 8th page

PLEASE TELL ME I SAID THE RIGHT THING^

Honestly yeah Q5 wasn’t great (especially when you end up giving yourself like 7 mins for a 5-marker ) but surely other people thought Q3 was hard? What’s up with a news article on consumerism?

PLEASE TELL ME I SAID THE RIGHT THING^

you're defs asking the wrong person here I fr have no idea if I even interpreted it 'right'

 

[qldbulls]

Mediocre SA maybe 17. Messed up my essay but hearing that people liked the question and that it favoured pre-written essays is NOT reassuring guess im gonna have to fluke P2. Also how tf does anyone write more than 6 pages do you simultaneously think while you're writing full pace??? You people are inhuman

 

[jc7726]

you're defs asking the wrong person here I fr have no idea if I even interpreted it 'right'

they always say "there's no 'wrong' answers" and then u get 0 for interpreting it wrong

oh yeah that one was tricky too, the wording of the question was kinda tricky I thought (I cant actually remember it though)...
