    Any predictions for the CCEA exam? We're going Gatsby and Yeats and Kavanagh for poetry.

    I'm doing Gatsby and Yeats/Kavanagh too!! No predictions, I'm just freaking out cause the Gatsby question could be completely random

    Yeah Gatsby is a worry! I hate the context in questions with Gatsby, it's just more work. Hopefully they don't use a really hard question for Yeats and Kavanagh. One of the past paper questions was protest against Irish life? I think I'd cry.

    So worried for both parts. I'm hoping that Frontiersman or American Dream comes up for Gatsby and that Dissatisfaction With the Contemporary World comes up for Poetry.

    If something like Novel of Manners and Poetry comes up I may as well just leave.

    Does anyone know what mark out of 60 is an A? I get so confused with the mark schemes.

    It changes depending on how the candidates as a whole do
