That,s ok! That's my revision done for the night pretty much, so it's helped me a lot too! Yeah, you could. It really depends how you structure your report. You don't necessarily have to create separate paragraphs for data collection. I personally find it easier to include it within the other paragraphs!


Oh ok :smile: Haha glad it helped you too. Do you have any predictions for tomorrow ? What have you revised ?

I predict a report and a review! I don't know why- just a feeling! Although, I've nevertheless revised all the writing styles (just in case)! How about you?

I think it might be a report too :smile: Yeh same - maybe a letter too :biggrin:
Lots of people have been saying reports and maybe letters because they occur every year ( i think )
Do you feel confident ?

Yeah, could be a letter(perhaps informal!) I feel quite confident, yet not at the same time:biggrin: I think it will greatly depend on the question, and how I feel tomorrow. What will be will be! :biggrin: How are you feeling?

Holy crap. You seem extremely prepared for tomorrow. May I ask some questions? You sound more informative than my teacher! I'm still extremely confused about the report because I've NEVER EVER done one! I don't even know what they look like and even though I saw your example above, its still incredibly unclear for me. Do you have any videos you recommend or does WJEC have examples?! Also, they said its very likely a review can come up- which I'm definitely hoping for- can we write about ANYTHING or would they give us something? If that makes sense lmao. I'm really hoping to get an A or possibly an A*, which is a bit far-fetched in my case. Sorry for being annoying haha.

Thank you in advance x

For the last question on unit 1 (the compare one), do you do 5 comparisons?

Thank you; I'm bricking it, though! :biggrin: That's OK. I'd personally recommend The English Teacher on Youtube! Here's the link to his video on writing a report: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TisHm3KPS0w And, which seems perfect for you, it's aimed at those who want to get an A*! Hope it helps! :smile: Oh yes, a review would be lovely! Usually, they ask you to write about a book you've read, or a film/ TV programme you've watched recently. :smile:

For a review would they maybe ask only a film or a book ??!

That's doubtful, as not everybody reads books, and equally, not everyone necessarily watches films! I'm pretty sure WJEC has to cater for all students, so it's fair! :smile:

Phew! It is done..

I'm not so confident on how I did on the higher reading paper but feel really good about the writing paper!

How did everyone think they did?
I was so glad that report came up on my WJEC exam paper but abit down cause I've spent an hour on one question, hopefully I'll get close to 19/40 and my reading exam was so bad, I think I will get about 10/40 :/ answered all 4 but didn't write much (2/3 paragraphs) except for comparing and contrasting. Panicked so bad so I blanked..
Does anyone know or predicted what the grade boundaries is for WJEC English Language

I was glad a report came up as well! Most people seem to be disappointed it came up..

Hopefully the grade boundaries will be kind to us all..

Out of all 7 or 8 texts, I find the report and informal letter the easiest to do. Gutted when speech came up, I hate doing speech. Didn't get a chance to do it anyway..

Hopefully 25-30 out of 80 is a C.. Highly unlikely but I'm hoping so bad that it is haha
So apparently Peta Bee is a woman and I wrote she was a he all the way through.
Other than that it was good, didn't really finish the last question for reading paper, I did but it was rushed so I only got 4 similarities and differences, should have more time for that paper. Liked the other questions though and the writing paper.

However the local Charity, I did cancer research because it was all I could think of, will that be okay??
