Make sure you're comfortable answering all types of questions, think of the worst question that could come up and answer it, make sure you have good evidence, do a few essays, re-read class notes then go to bed early the night before :smile:

cant answer specifically for your prose fiction and drama but for drama focus on dramtic devices and how they effect the audience ( this is must to a score over a B ) and above you must do close analysis

No, there's no poetry, just two books.

I'm doing "Never Let Me Go" and "An Inspector Calls". Kind of nervous, as I got a D in my mock! :frown:

What questions do you reckon will be on today's exam? :/

Didn't really like the extract questions but the 20 mark questions were easy. I did Superstition for Blood Brothers and Order in Lord of the Flies. Had 20/20 on Blood Brothers one and 16/20 on Lord of the Flies one that I've done before like them so I'm pretty confident :biggrin:

Did anyone notice the grammar error on Hobson's Choice?

"Look at the extract on the opposite page?".

I did 'A View From the bridge" and "A Christmas Carol" thoughts?

I did Inspector Calls and Heroes.

The extract questions were relatively straight forward for both, but I struggled on the Inspector Calls essay question in particular. It didn't go horribly, but it wasn't as structured and well thought out as I wanted it to be.

In terms of the Heroes essay question, I had already previously drafted an answer during my revision, so it was literally only a matter of regurgitating my essay and making sure I covered all the key points I wanted to. Safe to say, I started the exam off with a sense on unease but got better as I progressed. I'm just glad English Lit. is over and done with for me.
