I agree- thought he was most famous son of his father tho :frown: and that the senators were afraid he would make the rule, not that he would make himself king :mad: but otherwise it was great!

Oh no thats the difference between a E and D, nightmare!

I learnt it all yesterday quite quickly. Maybe that is because I have learnt it 2 or 3 times before.
I'm up to line 938. The 10 marker is only 5% of your overall grade so don't fail it but if you do it's not the end of the world!

For literature, it very rarely goes further than 90% - A*, 80% - A etc. Not as much flexibility as the language papers as its far more predictable!

In the two language papers, you need about 51-54 each depending on the year, and the literature is normally around 43-44 for an A*. So the highest it will be is about 195/220.

By style points do you mean like spondee and dactyl, alliteration etc. etc. ??
