very very late reply but how are you feeling about the investigating exam?? the only module i feel like i actually know super well is mod 7... otherwise i'm so cooked
mod 7 is meh for me and mod 8... our teacher finished that on the last day like wtf mrs cooper! anyway mod 6 and 5 are better, hoping its just a normal investigating exam

How were both English Papers. I am hearing mixed opinions, i cbb bothered going back to read other messages though
Advanced-

Paper 1 was weird to me. It was a 3, 4, 5, 3, 5 marker split (like wtf) and I personally did poorly
Common module question was a 3 part and good for those who treated each quality/motivations/action as a different concept in relationship. Needed to have prepared thoroughly/a good understanding of your text to do well

Paper 2 was both good and bad. Depends on the person
Mod A was broad and a nice question for those prepared asking you how ur perception of the later text changed from reading the earlier one
Mod B was about 'artistry' and 'textual integrity' and you needed to address how ur text was that, and its 'literary value'. I didn't like the question but I think it was solid and niche enough that a key differentiator might be whether you knew their definitions, and shaped ur thesis in line to it
Mod C was a 20 mark discursive/persuasive. 2025 will for sure be a split

cant remember lowkey made it up. but i think it was decent
To be honest if you talked a lot about ur text being 'art' or 'a coherent whole of [writing form style etc]' you could probably scrape by. I have a feeling the high range will have lower standards this year so who knows

if you talked about the enduring value of the text over time then that implies it, but you could get a pedantic marker
God, I really messed up. I had practised so much and knew all of this but just panicked for like no reason. I don't think I spoke about the enduring value :cry:

I did speak about the terms of the question, but idk
