I'm pretty keen for paper 1 but not paper 2

 

[Speed6]

Everything was pretty much easy.

Only concern would be the AOS introduction where I may have not answered the question carefully. It was about the emotional and intellectual insights of discoveries.

Too easy, band 7.

I enjoyed it. My introduction was a bit weak but that's what you get for starting with the essay and feeling a bit nervous. Everything was pretty easy to adapt.

Lol I wonder where the reservation idea came from

Anyway how was it?

Sounds like you did well in general

It was easy but I didn't like the comprehension that much. Either I was blind or the texts weren't rather obvious for discovery.

[DatAtarLyfe]

[cub3root]

[FootballHooligan]

I answered everything but didn't finish what I wanted to (i.e. conclusion for creative and 6 marker for SA)

 

[jenandeeb]

[jenandeeb]

The essay question was amazing, it worked perfectly for what I had prepared for 'The Tempest' and 'Evagelion: 1.0 You are (Not) Alone... A shame I couldn't use Invictus though.

The Stimuli for the Creative Writing did not work in my favour, but I made it work to fit my story... It was taxing though given that my entire story took place on a train.

The Unseen comprehension texts weren't blatantly discovery in my opinion, I also felt that the Poem did not fit the theme of "wonder of discovery" nonetheless, I did what I needed to do to get the marks.

I think my essay went great for my prescribed but The door didn't fit it that well so my thesis was tricky and somewhat long winded.

I'm really uncomfortable with some of the comprehension and hence went overboard wasting a lot of time.

Also I stupidly didn't rip the stimulus and the question booklet because we weren't give n any instructions regarding it. Flicking through that shit must've legit wasted 5 minutes in total.

Creative suffered hacrd because of my time wastage and also was slower than expected for essay. I only had 25 minutes for creative and it didn't fit my text well AT ALL. I had to change a lot but it kind of fit but cut down like a page. I'm expecting max 11-12.


What was the first stimulus picture showing ?
