General thoughts: English Advanced Modules Paper 2 (4 Viewers)

Idk about how many pages bc I didn't count, but the questions were very mouldable to my pre-prepared essays which were about 1.3k, 1.2k, 1.2k and I managed to write it all. Mod C (Shakespeare) was the only iffy one for me don't think I addressed the "ambiguous" part of the question as well as I would've liked. Also how many words you guys be writing holy shit so many pages, i write about 12-17 words per line

I was surprised at the Modules Exam - I truly was. I FAILED my Modules in Trials (38% ayyyeeeee) which is horrific for me. I wrote 8 pages for Mod A (The Prince & Julius Caesar), 7 pages for Mod B (TS Eliot: Selected Poems) and 10 for Mod C (Clay). I only wrote like 4 pages for each essay back in Trials and I still managed to have 5 minutes left to re-read stuff. My hand writing is not small, but it isn't big either. I feel pretty freaking proud.

Well MOD A and MOD B were pretty good i say. Got like 6 pages, and i think it was my best essays. Pretty broad questions for Gatsby and Speeches, my teacher said you could really write anything about them.
MOD C on the other, probably not my best work but i put alot of representation in and answered the question, even went against it so i am maybe panicking. The only thing which is going to kill me i was halfway through my conclusion and had to stop. So much for getting good now.
IMO, i found this paper easier then area of study. Probably because discovery is so dry ahah

I have no clue how they do it. I guess our handwritings are pretty small. I ended up with a grand total of 12 pages, 4 each on average. (I had like 4.75 + 3.50 + 3.75, respectively)

Anyone else get stumped at the specific nature of the mod A question for W;t and Donne? It directly asked for mortality only.
Also, I totally called it! I knew that the question this year for Hamlet was going to be something about corruption, and its impact on the play as whole.
Mod C was nice and generic and only asked for 1 ORT.

Yeah I was a bit surprised at this too - I still spent a decent chunk talking about relationships, but I did it in light of mortality and death
I'm actually so happy though - English is finally over!!! I did around 7 pages for each essay which I'm super stoked about

I actually ruled out possibilities based on what have been asked before, until I realised that every 2 years, they ask something about Hamlet's plot to kill Claudius, and the every other second year, they would ask a question that would have something to do with the corruption inherent in hamlet. Since they asked revenge last year, I had a feeling they were going to ask something about corruption. I figured morality, innoncence and gender roles, but turns out it was a little more generic as it asked to discuss the statement regarding the loss of balance to the natural order.lol you called every possibility

Fucccck, I'm so screwed.
Seriously I don't get how people do it. I get the texts, I have roted essays, but my exam technique is total shit. I can barely write an essay in the time given, let alone make a GOOD essay and understand the question and then adapt the essay to answer the question. I really don't get how people do it.
I probably couldn't even do well if we had 3 hours, would need 4 hours tbh. So depressing. Well at least we don't have to touch this shit ever again, I just hope the year below me learns from my mistakes and practices their exam technique throughout the year.
