Kami! I just noticed that you're doing 12 units this year...How'd you go in Biology and English last year?
Oooh! Another arrival
Well, with Biology I came second in the grade and recieved a high band 5- I could have done better but my overconfidence ruined it, I left the test an hour and a half early...
In English Advanced, I absolutely ripped the Area of Study paper as it turned out to be pretty much exactly my trial questions, so yay! The modules paper was allright, the King Lear question was great and Frontline too, *but* (and there is always a butt, isnt there?) with Pardoner's Tale, the question was so open, I was absolutely convinced there was some higher meaning in there that *only* I was missing and I ended up debating myself, and the points that I debated in retrospect were on a complete tangent to the module let alone the question. So to summate that disaster, I came equal fourth out of 68 people, and got a band 5.
So last year was passable but not good and hardly great, which was a let down.
But considering the number of units I am doing I can afford those screwups, and its a huge bonus to have finished advanced, I *never* have to do journeys again.
It also gives me a free period when absolutely everyone else is in class(except for the apprentices) and I can study in relative peace for my major work.
