English Literature and English Language advice? I think I messed up the exam?

I don't know.

Just wait till the results come out, you probably did much better than you think you did.

I like vampires =)

The GCSE exams for both. I'm posting this in the A level section as A level students could give me a better idea. Basically in Language I forgot to write down the topic name and number of the composition I attempted. I have no idea how much I'll lose for this error . In Lit I messed up my empathy question. I had to write as Borachio (from Much Ado). I accidentally wrote that I(Borachio) and Margaret have been arrested when it wasn't Margaret but a different Character. The rest of my facts were accurate. I was predicted an A* on both. Now I'm just sad

Im in the same position, for Lit poetry, they named a poem which I didnt see and wrote about a different one....and I was predicted A* ...we'll just have to wait and see!

I EARNESTLY HOPE we both do very well. But atleast you didn't mess up both papers. Although people keep telling me not writing the topic isn't a important thing. Still.

Thank you, for my mock I got the highest in the year A* with nearly full mark CW, now people are loving the fact I messed up, and I won't come top of the year . I can't believe I messed up having prepared for soo long!! + I want to take Lit for A Levels.

OH! SAME HERE! Except I got the second highest in Lit and highest in Language. I hope to take A level Lit aswell!

You think that's bad? Everytime I think about what I wrote, I actually feel sick. I wrote that the two poems had the same type of language (archaic language) - which they didnt. Thinking about some of the quotes I explained, I don't think I explained any correctly because I didn't have much knowledge on some of the poems listed yet I had prepared so hard for the exam (I actually wrote an essay the night before the exam on 'relationships' which came up on the back page but I didn't notice the question so that made matters worse). On the OMAM section, I only used 1 quote throughout the whole essay (and we all know when you make a point, you have to back it up) - I don't know what went through me. I think I might get a D but because I got a really high A in my course work, maybe a C overall (I was actually looking to get a solid B or possibly an A but there you go).

Don't want to give you false hopes, but I think you can still scrap a B cause of the A in coursework. Poetry questions can be a bit subjective. I hope you do very well. God bless us all! Hopefully!

i thought english langauge was next month?? or are you doing the WJEC board??

Nope. I'm with CIE. We already had ours. GCSE's will end on 11th June for me. Btw--any advice?

Hello . In the Lit paper for GCSE I made up 3 quotations from To Kill a Mockingbird and still got an A*. AND at Lit/Lang AS I wrote that a quotation was both metaphorical and alliterative when it was neither. I made a few other mistakes in that paper as well, and still got 60/64 in that question. In terms of facts, I wouldn't worry about making some mistakes like messing up characters or using wrong terminology! ALL examiners are told to mark positive aspects instead of negative ones (it will say this in every mark scheme) so mistakes like those will not affect your mark much at all.

Good luck! Hope that helped .
