Yeah ive got this exam tomorrow aswell. My revsion technique is to look through past papers to see which poems have already came up and which ones havn't. Ive realised that Limbo, Blessing and Vultures havn't came up in a while so i suggest you should have an in-depth look at them. Good look :smile:

I'll actually kill myself if Limbo comes up - it's an awful poem there's no room for in depth analysis ... I have studied some poems from cluster 2 though so if I'm lucky I'll get a choice of questions ... you can mix the clusters if you want right? So I could answer the question for cluster 1 but use a poem for 2 to compare it with ... ?

Lol, if you don't know any, you should probably resign yourself to the fact that you won't get a good grade in English.

Absolutely no problems with cross-cluster poem comparison :yep:

it's likely that blessing or island man will come... i hope that 2 scavengers comes up - thats the easiest, and therefore my favorite :thumbsup:

i did this exam last year (early entry), and i got a C overall; C in paper 1 and a D in paper 2... i failed it. im really nervous for tomz....

which one from informing, explaining, describing would u say is the easiest?

my english teacher told us all that there was a lot of anger about not my business coming up last year as there was very little to write about.
Anyone know anything about that?

call me selfish, i don't really care but would you give people your good ideas to use in the exam?

wouldn't you rather keep them to yourselves to make it original? :rolleyes:

That was 1 question, but the other opt was about nothings changed which is dead easy. I think the Level of toughness was fairly balanced out.

For people doing cluster 1 poems, my teacher predicted that it's very likely that blessing will come up, or two scavengers! Bear in mind, I said prediction, okay? And don't ask me how she predicted as I too think there's an equal chance of any poem coming up! :smile:

Don't mind Blessing but I hate two scavengers :s-smilie:

Hope it doesn't come up!

for section A when analysing poems choose 2 powerful quotes or more if needed and "unpack" them so you cover them in depth as oppose to trying to cover everything you know about the poem

for section B if you opt for the describe question...make sure you don't make it sound like a story just focus on certain aspects of the scene in depth

best of luck to everyone tomorrow :smile:

I've got it 2moro as well. I can't w8 for english to be over!

For section B, use all the techniques you know, like imagery (simile, metaphor, personification), repetition, alliteration, list of 3, speech, rhetorical questions, short sentences, onomatopoeia, etc...

Ooh and remember guys, you cannot get A* if you do not use a wide range of punctuation.

Lastly be original :biggrin:

Good Luck
