Yes, dreading it! Who do you think it will be? I think it might be something on feminism or Mary.


Teachers in my school think it's gonna be on Mary, but they also thought the Animal Farm one was gonna be on Benjamin and it wasn't

Boyle is my bet tbh at least for 1 of the two questions and feminism was basically the controlled assessment so I doubt they'd ask it

Who was Animal Farm on out of interest? We did it for a CA but did TKAM for the exam yet I actually really enjoyed Animal Farm (didn't like TKAM) :smile:

We did our CA on setting but if that was one they probably won't ask it. Boyle was on in 2012/13 (can't remember which) so I doubt he'll come up but you never know!
Boxer was on unit 1 which was in 2012 and Boyle was in 2012 so I don't want to say that that's my link but yea... Lol. No seriously all the other major characters have been done but Boyle has not been mentioned in 3 years

My teacher made us draw up a lot of plans for her because she thinks so too :/

Didnt like rectangle or circle therom or coffee or running one but besides that grand


Do you know what the correct answer was for the coffee question? Did you find the upper bound of 470 which was 475 to the nearest , then subtract the lower bound to the nearest five grams from it?

I did Juno and the Paycock and I think it went pretty well, ran a bit out of time on Nature and War to finish it how I wanted. Mixed feeling about the unseen as the last stanza threw me off bringing religión into what I thought was a seemingly simple poem about a hedgehog 😂

What was that even about ROFL.

i did all my sons and love & death, and i thought the questions were decent. ann's been on the paper three years in a row though, which is weird. the poetry questions were good as well! idk about the unseen, it felt like it was deep but not deep enough, you feel?
Anyone do the War and Nature anthology? Which poem did you compare with the Badger?

so disappointed about narrow fellow, and we hadn't learnt the Castle so I had to do the badger question which was okay apart from the fact I hadn't looked over Foxes among the Lambs so...overall pretty ****
