    i applied to churchill because i heard they have the best dorms...
    but since you need 776 in hl anyway, it doesn't make a huge difference. I don't suppose anyone will lose marks in SLs
    Hahahah dont be so sure funny enough, my hl's i expect a 776 whereas sl's im expecting a 765

    high five how do you feel about it? the lit paper seems so unpredictable and weird just dont know what questions or what answers they want!! ahh dont worry even if you think you havent done enough so much would have gone in over the two years and its probably best because you wont be worked up!
    Erm atm I don't feel so great about it, but because most of my exams are this week I've got a fair amount of time to revise for it so it should (hopefully!) be ok! Omg yes we looked through a past paper in class and my teacher was like, "these questions are appalling" lol! So random!! I hope we get decent questions this year

    Oh I need 766 in HL... and SL Biology and classics are my two worst subjects so it's quite likely that I'll lose a fair amount of marks for them :')

    I don't know if you have time but I had to practice writing fast because I was never able to finish my essay and mostly people lose points because of structure so I had to pay attention to that as well.. that's all really.

    I know its quality over quantity and all that, but how many pages do you usually write for paper 1?
    I've seen people who write about 15 and people who write 5 so have no idea

    I usually write abt 6-8 which is more than enough to cover all the literary techniques and comment on their effect which is really likethe most imp thing. And make sure ur formal guys i lost a mark on language in the mocks cz i started a paragraph by: "kicking off with" hahahaha

    I've been looking over literary terms lightly just to swot up a little. Good luck!
