I was very surprised that we didnt have to write an article or interview or the like... I wasnt too happy with the poetry question, I actually think it was easy because it wanted you to concentrate on techniques, but I planned to concentrate on Owen's underlying critique of war, so my essay is all over the place :/
But I'm glad its over, I can chuck all my english stuff now :)

That was the easiest English exam I've ever had lol. But uhh still managed to kind of stuff up my third essay because I was running out of time, still had quite alot of info but didn't really get to the point.

Think I creamed that poetry essay, couldn't have asked for a better question...

Meh, my third essay was ruined because of time and hand cramps. :rofl: But 3 pages is sad. :(

The first two essays were good though, 8 pages each. I can never write that much. :D

I reckon I failed.

I did ok in the first 2 sections but in the 3rd I was already tired. So I just did nothing but bullshit the whole way through. =[

Pretty easy exam. First two essays were prepared essays. Modified the third for Raw a little. Got 29 pages out. So, pretty happy. Heres to hoping for a band 5.

I did The Truman Show and Wilfred Owen and I found the questions to be perfect for what I had studied. A friend of mine studied Raw and she had no complaints either. Maybe your strongest point was just journeys?

That was easy, i couldnt believe it and there was no stupid speeches or interviews etc which made it even better. the raw question and dialogue question where both very easy. witness was a pritty easy question aswell they where all very general questions which made them easy.

I didn't think that it was too hard...Raw was definately the hardest so i did that first but wasted wayyyyyyy too much time and ended up only having an hour for Stolen and Witness so i didn't end up finishing witness :(
I thought that paper 1 was better...i was definately more prepared 4 journeys.
