Re: Current Year 11 Thread Mark IIthank you! you're very nice and reassuring, just what i need to control my inside panic!(Original post by Zigggyy.)
Quite a few there! ;D Aunt pegg..ahaha noo, I havent :') Ah, good luck, I'm sure you'll be fine.
Yeah, im sort of 80% ish for them ahaha. Better go and get this practice paper done, best of luck!
i guess you can very rarely be 100% because it's the unknown which makes it all the more agonising! i best get off this too and review over things in preparation for tomorrow! all the best! we should discuss how we found it afterwards perhaps!

Re: Current Year 11 Thread Mark IIThat past paper was great! On the question about what makes a good uncle you literally just had to list things off with the odd connective put in to get full marks!!! I hope we get one like that. We were also shown this other one where you had to write an interview - that was a horrid question!!(Original post by xoxlovelifexox)

After doing loads at school I really don't feel like doing more.. I tend to go through stages of
1. doing nothing
2. doing about 20 minutes just to stop making myself feel guilty
3. casually doing an hour
and 4. going crazy and doing loads to make up for not doing any...
(oh and of course 5. doing other things so that i don't have to do any.. a.k.a procrastinating
)

Re: Current Year 11 Thread Mark IIi agree! it was such a wonderful paper, out of all the past papers i've seen/done that has to be by far my favourite. it was actually really interesting! i saw another past paper one to do about marriage, it was a conversation, but the topic was very interesting and you actually enjoyed reading it. i'm hoping for this kind of paper tomorrow! what kind of transformative writing are you hoping for?(Original post by g.k.galloway)

Re: Current Year 11 Thread Mark IIOh I am sure there is lots; just too much to write hehe.(Original post by matty123)
English Language - Bad because it is all about matching thier mark scheme, not about the actual English lol. For example, in the reading section, if you don't track through the text in order then it will be hard to get above a B
. Also one hour is simply not enough time to read the two texts and answer four long questions on them.
English Literature - Also bad because you are not given enough time, have to analyse and compare two unseen poems. Also many other exam boards allow you to bring in clean copies of studied texts into the exams. But not WJEC, which means that you have to remember lot's of quotes to get above a C.
GreenLantern1, would you liike to add anything else :P
This my 2nd exam. 24th May and I will never EVER have to do english again. Woooooooooo. I have to say though I did finish the comprehension paper (albeit only just). I was good for timing in language, but literatre is ridiculous. 4 essay questions all in 2 hours together!!! STUPID. Though in language loads of people ran out of time; I know some that only did 1-3 adn didn;t even start Q4 -

Re: Current Year 11 Thread Mark IIi know what you mean and you see the clock thinking and having that nervous feeling that you won't finish! but then you do and it's like oh why was i worried.(Original post by LusterMX)
Really nervous!
It takes me a long time to think of things to write, especially with so many invigilators walking by, it makes it more tense.
I really hope I do well! I just hope they don't give us something hard XD
i hope they're feeling nice too! what kind of transformative writing are you after? -

Re: Current Year 11 Thread Mark IIYeh I really want a paper like that - any descriptive writing would be great...(Original post by xoxlovelifexox)

I just want something where I can be creative - the comprehension type ones are soooo boring..
I really like ones where you can evaluate people's actions and behavior and then use it to develop something of your own. Those kinds of questions can be fun.

Re: Current Year 11 Thread Mark III've always wondered if its true that invigilators play Pacman when they walk among desks...(Original post by LusterMX)

Re: Current Year 11 Thread Mark IIyes, same! i'm not a big fan of the ones which are about the landscape or something, i'm way more interested in people.(Original post by g.k.galloway)

i especially adore it when the character's of the people are interesting, it makes all the more easier to put a 'voice' on them i think.

Re: Current Year 11 Thread Mark III'm not really sure, but I do know that I DO NOT want to write an article, like a newspaper one. That would just be terrible!(Original post by xoxlovelifexox)

Something casual like an email would be brilliant though
I suppose you're looking forward to never doing english again just as I am
What about you? 
So tired...
