    Fairly happy with that paper! The questions were great too. I wrote three pages for the first question, three pages for the second and just over 6 pages for the 50marker. I only need 63/100 from that exam so I think I should achieve that

    Anyone else notice that the first question didn't say something like "And how your skills have developed over time?" I'm glad they didn't mention that - I think I wrote a much better essay because of it. Included quite a lot of theorists too, and tried to give examples where I could. Even threw in some Narrative content such as anarchronic narrative and such!

    you're wrong there. The last sentence said something like "use a range of examples to show how your skills have developed over time" .. so yes they did ask for it.

    In any case, still a fairly easy paper.
