Anyone do OCR ENGLISH LANGUAGE today??

I thought it was OK, but question 3 was terrible and the text was even worse :frown:

I thought it was okay - everyone seems to think question 3 was terrible!
Which did you do for the writing piece?
I did 5 and my most difficult moment was that exam (though it really wasn't) and I wrote a lot and the content was okay, but the structure was terrible - and I think I missed most of my main points out.

Even if it's short(ish) you can get a good grade - how much (approximately) di you write?

That should be fine...
I did a practice question about that long and got a good grade.

I was going to do question 5 about the exam but I thought OCR would think it was too narrow minded, so i did something about a marathon instead.

Lots of other people wrote about their exams for question 5 as well but it seems too obvious and not very imaginative to get good marks but idk.

I didn't end up speaking about the exam too much, I included a lot of things - so I'm hoping that I'll get marks for originality.
Our teacher says we should always do them from out own opinion because it's easier to write, and I was finding it hard to concentrate (cried about additional maths till 2 and I was so tired) so it was the only thing I could really think of

I know the feeling :frown:

. It took me 10 minutes to think of some marathon story then i had to write it in 30 mins but somehow i managed 2 and a half sides, but i think i waffled a lot :redface:

I was thinking about what to write during the first section.
Well at least the person "telling my story" (aka me) was meant to be tired.
Maybe I'll get extra marks for the realistic lack of structure and sense (I'm only 1/2 joking)

Q2) Too smart for your own good article
Will I get a mark for talking about the image of the man waking up in the morning looks like a camera lens because of the circle shape... Which is related to the invasion of privacy by hackers

At first when i read it I though it was a terrible point but looking at it again i realised that it was better than all the ones i put in the exam haha.

What did you put?

The picture of the man had alternative interpretation I guess. I also talked about the colour red in the first picture which symbolises danger. Literally spent 5 minutes contemplating what to write.
