Section I fitted pretty much perfectly with what I have revised. hoping 18 for that
Section II was alright for Hamlet, could have talked more in depth but time problems 12?
Section II was good, but I ran out of time and only got 2 1/2 pages done :\ maybe a 9-10 for that.

Overall ok exam, but slow writing/time management really messed with me. Seemed pretty reasonable and what I expected.

I thought it was pretty good. None of the texts I studied had a specified section (hooray) and my practice essays fitted for the most part. Did 20+ pages with just less than 10 minutes to spare.

i was lucky to have an experienced teacher that made us do the easiest modules that dont need much cramming (because no speeches/poems) and dont usually surprise people :)
Frankenstein, hamlet and history and memory (mark baker)
everyone that did poems by yeats got lucky at my school except a few...

So glad that the questions this year for the modules weren't as bad as last year. :) I was scared it would be worse than last year lol, but I hoped that it would be something okay.

Module A, did The Great Gatsby and EBB. Hoping 17/20, but proud I wrote sooo much more here than my trials.

Module B, Hamlet I liked, but I don't know if I was detailed enough. Hopefully 15+/20

Module C, I really liked it, fit in perfectly with The Justice Game and my related! Hoping 18-19/20.

What was the History and Memory question :)
Analyse how the representation of past events and recollections leads us to a greater awareness of the complexity of human attitudes and behaviour.
In your response make detailed reference to your prescribed text and at lease ONE other related text of your own choosing.

Probably one of the best exams I've ever done

Section 1 - 12 pages (17)
Section 2 - 12 pages (19)
Section 3 - 15 pages (20)

Still had 5 minutes to spare to read over all my work

Hoping for at least the above marks

I did the advanced paper and am very happy with it.
Module A: my prepared essay purely contrasted film techniques and language techniques (I do Franken-Runner), so the Q being about textual form was fantastic!
Module B: I was freaked out about this section so the fact that it was just a basic essay question was a release. I did Hamlet and discussed confronting the conflict of religious morality and avenging, women confronting patriarchy and resolving political turmoil. Was decent.
Module C: I do history and memory (the website) and my essay worked perfectly with the human attitude and human behaviour. Thank God for only one related text!

Overral MUCH MUCH better then paper f*cking one! Now time to cram for bio

But in all seriousness, I had 4 redbulls before the test and my hand were shaking! I got in there and wrote:
27 pages for Mod A
29 pages for Mod B
26 pages for Mod C
And it helped that half way through the test, my friend got and up and turned the clock back 30 mins or so! hahahah got an extra half an hour of essays in!!
