GCSE English Lit :(

With it being so close to results day, I'm getting really stressed over my exam results. Thinking about it now, when I did my English Lit exam I didn't mention any technique names at all other than 'simile', 'metaphor' and 'imagery' perhaps. Do you reckon I'll get marked down for this? :frown:

Yes

I don't think they take marks off, they just won't give the marks you would have got if you had added those things. Which of course means a lower grade. But try not to worry about it, the exam has already been sat so there's nothing you can do now. Perhaps you did add those things but have forgotton and thus you'll get a nice surprise on Thursday.
If all else fails and you are really bothered about the grade there's always resits.

Just wait and see. It's no use using literary terms if you can't explain why that literary term is there. If you've explained yourself well, you should be fine.
