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 ****

So pissed off with them ccea wanks, what is the point putting the badger and foxes among the lambs up again when there are other stuff that hasnt been asked, makes no sense to me! Hadnt revised them because of they were up in 2013

yeah me too, so annoying! I really wanted an A this year and all, i've been so close in all my mocks but I guess it wasn't meant to be
I did the theme question in an inspector calls, and compared Attack to The Castle
The unseen was okay- bit weird at the end I didn't pick up on Jesus that much tbh but oh well

Don't worry I worked it out and the comparison is only 16% of your grade!!! I did the war one but struggled a bit with the castle tbh

I was going to do the war one, but I was absent the day we did it in class so had to copy up my friends notes so I didn't really understand it enough to write a whole essay on it. 16% makes me feel a bit better I suppose, still gutted though

No, I did Juno and the Paycock thankfully, it was probably the only part of the exam that went alright

Our question was very confusing and i only got 4 points done and i realised that one of them wasnt even relevant..
Anyone know what the grade boundaries are usually like for English Lit?

How many points are you meant to include?

Yeah poetry is 25% but it's unseen and the comparison together so that's 40 marks + 20 marks for unseen which makes the comparison 16% I think not 100% tho
