IGSCE English language exam 8th May 2014 - how did everyone find it?

I found it really good. The sources were also good. Q1 on extended who did people write it from ?

I wrote it in the pov of sacha. How many marks do you think I'll lose?

Bet it was a really common mistake. Probably only one or two tbh.

I took this exam too, she/he wouldnt just have one or two marks taken away, it would be more like 5 as they completely missed the purpose and tone and it specifically stated 'your mrs Wilkie", so she would propably lose marks on the writing mark more than the content marks.

(sister on sisters account) I wrote it from the mother, but then signed off as myself :/ Also, after writing three pages for analysis (Q2) i read that it asked specifically for 1 to 1 1/2 pages! wooops, anyone know how many marks I'll lose?

Agreed I found it awesome! Once your accustomed to the structure of the exam its quite simply to get a high mark! Sources were rather bizarre though :/

Your'e joking right?

The sources were strange.

Overall, I think it was a decent paper for us.

What do you guys mean by the sources be 'strange'? Sorry for my confusion, what are the sources normally?

I just thought they were a bit strange concerning travellers and backpackers. Luckily, they were quite east though.

Did you do the past paper about that composer?

Ah I see and no I haven't, why?

Ugh - it was a dreadful question. I am so glad the exam yesterday was not as difficult or boring.

I suppose I'm glad! Thank God it was a letter with a demanding tone, I don't think I could've managed a leaflet on some beach resort or a interview where I'd barely grasp the character's voice.
