Who's winging English Language?

Are you winging English Language on Tuesday?

My exam board is AQA.

Have a quick look at this though:

Just watch Mr Bruff videos the day/night before or the morning of the exam.

All it is is analysis and technique.

I don't even know about the English Language exam... ._.

I'm just trying to write down notes for each question, and have to see how it goes I guess...

By the way, is it better to do Section B before Section A? If you want more details please check out a thread I made about it.

Time management is key and MAKE SURE you answer the question. People lose marks by just including irrelevant quotations in their answers. Additionally, do what is best for you. If starting from the end of the paper is easier for you then go for it. I personally prefer starting from Q1 so I can get the easier marks out of the way quickly.

My plan is to watch Mr Bruff the day before and do some question which I will send to my teacher via email. She'll mark it and then yeh then rest will be luck. Good luck to all dah mandem

I have no idea tbh since my teacher was an ICT teacher and we didn't really get taught anything :colonhash:

. I made flashcards which I'm hoping to just memorise and repeat in the exam :redface:

I am just going to go in and do my best.if I had like half an hour more I would have been getting easy A*s but I am always a mark from it and it's cause of question 4.also I think secondary school teacher mark tooooo harsh but examiners are much more lenient so it should be fine.

Consider the exam winged, how's a teacher supposed to teach you to answer a f*ckin english language exam paper?
Who ever came up with the exam must have been a cannibal.
Metaphorically speaking.

I'm doing it for A Level and I found the GCSE paper quite easy, a lot of it is common sense and you just need to know terminology and that's it, Literature is the hard stuff.
