exactly, the key to any of these is 'do it well' --> if you are able in the exam to take the traditional teen-angst storylines and turn them aorund somehow, that would probably look good to a marker - however, it's pretty difficult to do that under pressure so you're best avoiding them like the...

yes, this is true of course - but you have to remember that it has been proven over time that the raw band cut-offs don't vary much form year to year. Glitterfairy's method, therefore, is probably the best estimate. If it was close to the line, then maybe you'd say there was a chance it would be...

obviously this person was forced to drop from the course by the other accelerated student's who sent death threats when he asked too many questions :p ...well, that's my theory anyway :D

ah, but you're missing the point. An essay for english is nothing if it does not have logical progression and structure. In many ways English, as a subject, is not so different from science and maths - you just have to see the connection. Saying "oh, but I'm a science person" is an unacceptabl...

i don't know about that - 96.5 should be easily obtainable - besides which, it's a positive thinking and projection technique. Writing 'target' or 'hoping for' etc. almost lends a sense of the possibility and, in some cases, probability of failure. Obviously kadlil expects a good mark, so...

damn straight. winsome has 2 many pages *growls* ...*grabs page and runs*

pray to me! pray to me my minions!!!! lol, 'minion' is waaaay too close to 'minoan'. go the minoans!

omg, classic doll! footies are the best invention of all time (obviously, apart form the marshmallow: that goes without saying). So many people just don't care if you have content in them, which is such a blessing :D

i'm not sure I understand your question --> if you decided to write a letter, feature article etc. then you just...write it. You don't think of a story that you'd write as a short stand-alone text and then try to convert that to a letter etc. steer away from poetry. It is far too subjective and...

i used it for an assignment on inner journeys --> one text for a three-text portfolio. i didn't end up using it for my essays though, but I'll attach my portfolio. If you want to ask anything else, just PM me doll

oh dear...it's like exam marks - everyone wants to swap marks rather than just say how they went. tut tut tut *shakes head* you should know better eagles... Kutay --> you need to be more specific. yes, humanity's relationship with the natural world is the focus of the module, but that's just...

well - not quite accurate, but close enough for these purposes I suppose. I agree with Glitterfairy - the main difference is the texts used and the depth to which they are taught. so, if you love english (yes, we freaks exist) then go with advanced with the option of extensions and if you're...

yep. 47 pages on...uh...cystic fibrosis and current genetic therapy treatments i think - or, well, that was the general drift anyway. heh. totally off-topic, but I love footnotes *huggles footnotes and endnotes* they've always made my life easier.

did you have to redo it because of the cheltanham thing or was it for a different reason? i had a friend who had to resit hers because they lost it *tries not to laugh*

nah, exemplar usually just means excellent, top range etc. an essay worth 100% would be exemplar, but an exemplar essay is not necessarily worth 100%

yep. that was a damn long assignment. hand was killing me after writing it up. *frowns* all the diagrams had to be hand-drawn too which was not cool at all.

*hits forehead on desk...repeatedly*

yeah, that was what i thought. you just know the rough range they come from.

ok, aside from the fact that the purring is freaking me out...*must.not.purr*... some of those maths textbooks are funny in a freaky way. no, really. one of our senior ones had as an example for calculus working out the speed of a body tossed off a tall cliff...we found it amusing

just occured to me that we're talking about the pens as being the most important consideration for the exam...if only you could just write the brand of your pen on the first page of your booklet and that be it :p
