Originally posted by sugaryblue I tend to have the impression that I need to put in much more effort into Advanced than Extension 1 and 2. Extension 1 for me is kinda like a bludge.

Originally posted by *~Dazed~* well last year i got overall 85% in english and i came second in my class... i think 5th overall..... this year i have about 85% so far (not counting the trial cause havent got it back) and I am 4th in my class and probably like 15/75 overall....... so basically its that people are waking up to themselves and actually putting effort in and hence adding more competition
im really scared of the fact that they could chuck anything at you in the exam and sometimes the words they use can kinda throw you off track for eg..Sylvia plaths poems have a way of transcending through time with a distinct voice that will echo through the ages..i mean i wulda been like " what the?" im just sticking to historical info ..meaning ...and techniques used in the poem....
