What was question 5 again?? I can't remember what it was and now I think I answered the whole question wrong because I might've mis read it


write a blog on an experience and describe it and explain why it was memorable
why does it sounds to me that i was taking an absolutely different exam to everyone. Cause i remembered that you can't choice the sources to compare.
I did section B first, which even though is't my strong point went quite well. I finished section B in about 40 minutes which I knew I would which is why I started it first. Section A went completely wrong, I didn't know what to write for questions 1-3 and I wrote completely the wrong things for question 4. I'm doing higher and I only got a C in my Coursework so I'm screwed. This years has gone so badly wrong for my english :frown: was getting As last year. Looks like I'm re-sitting.

God I just feel so bad. I gotan A in coursework. Hopefully that's helps. I have done well in the mocks before but this justwent crap. I really wanted an A. Don't think that is gonna happen now


You should think positive, yeah I get where you come from to be honest the same happened with me but with a different topic, business wanted an A* guess I won't be getting that LOL, but nah I'm sure you've done really well, my friend did a completely different thing for Q6 where she wrote to persuade instead of argue, so thats 24 marks gone for her x_x

You could. You had to use source 3 but then you could choose between sources 1 and 2.

if you did section B, and it went really well, then it's probably cover for you q1-3, what did you write for Qs1-3?

Really? I remembered clearly that it was written in bold that it said use source 1 and 3. But then again you might be talking about the higher paper.
Same here i started section B then did A but was running out of time soo i missed out question 3 and did 4

Complete rubbish :'D question 1 I basically wrote that the writer doubted the plan and didn't think it could be achieved, question 2 I wrote that the headline and picture and text referenced each other quite a bit and basically was kind of trying to guilt trip us and for question 3 I wrote about how the woman struggled with what she was seeing and that evidently she wasn't prepared. It just didn't feel like it went well at all :frown:

I'm sure you've done fine, because from what your saying you are going to get marks, but just not the highest ones such as 7/8 but what do you think you'll get?

I really don't know. I think the most I'll get on each question (1-3) is probably like 4 maybe a 5 pushing it. I just want a C now because at least it's a pass. My teachers is going to be disappointed though she expected at least a B :O

Did anyone mention anything about metaphors in source 3 for question 4? I think I might have done something wrong...


Yes, I did. Don't worry.

In Q5, I talked about how my school will always be permanent memory in my brain and how it's also a permanent reminder as they taught me everything I needed and it was the school that was going to give me good GCSE results lol.
in q5 I did walking to Old Trafford:colondollar: think I did pretty well but on question 4 I did sentence types and my m8 said you cant im a bit confused

What was Q6? What points should you have included if you were AGAINST the statement??
That exam gave me a headache! Q1 I thought was easy. Q2 I thought was easy. Q3 I failed coz I haven't written enough. Q4 wasn't my best answer and my points could have been better but I did write quite a lot. I'm really worried that I just told a story in Q5 and in Q6 I'm terrified that I persuaded instead of argued! But overall it wasn't so scary. Now English exams are out of my life forever!
It went alright overall tbh, hoping for an A or A*- not too sure but does anyone know possible grade boundaries?:smile:
