I've got my exam this afternoon too under AQA, just try and keep calm.
Just remember you've gone over everything and have some confidence.

you can always make notes before you start answering if it helps :smile:

I really need to stay as calm as possible cos my mind turns blank when I go to exams and I can't write well under timed conditions. What should I think about before going into the exam?

Why are you awake so early. That cant be useful for your exam.

Everyone always thinks that, especially with things like English. If you found it hard, chances are you were hitting the parts of the mark scheme that are hardest to hit. People that find it easy, often have not done it right =]

That exam was horrible, mean and difficult. What did everyone write? I was so confused, I had to read the extract 3 times.

Mine went pretty bad too ._. Started off with the unseen- spent a bit too much time on it, I think. Then I did the poetry essay and kept thinking 'Ahh I have enough time...' *goes on writing til she realises that the girl in front gets up as she has finished her paper*............. GAH! And then I told the invigilators- they gave me like 20 mins extra but that was like nothing cos I take too much time thinking and I was panicking at the same time cos I was so shocked that I hadn't kept a proper eye on the time! So I jotted down a few points and that's it. I'm getting an A for my coursework so I'm gutted. I wanted to get at least a C in the exam but I now can't see that happening considering how I've just lost about 40 marks.

Yep, we're allowed to take them in :smile:

I'm doing Wuthering Heights and The Color Purple for my texts and Andrew Motion's 'Work' anthology for the poetry. IDK how it goes with OCR but we have 3 sections: the two I mentioned and unseen poetry :sigh:
