English Language lose marks

Did you put slang in writing section (q5/6)? Since if you put it on the reading section it would not be counted since they don't look at slang or SPAG. Also what type of slang words did you use?

I used slang in q5. I kinda forgot what I wrote though sorry!

I mean, examiners are very strict these days so any little mistake they see they will use it against you.

Btw for q4 do we have to compare language features that are used in both texts? Or can we use two completely different language features and compare their effects?

I couldn't find any similar devices so I only had one paragraph which compared a device used by both sources. The next 3 were paragraphs that only explained the effects of the language device of a single source. Will that get me at least 8/16?

Not always, I once made a mistake in an English exam, I scribbled it out instead of neatly crossing it out, didn't lose any marks for it so it's not always the case.

Also for your mock you put the slang in the writing section, right? and you didn't lose marks?

I dont think you`ll lose marks, provided the examiner knows what it means and does not think its a SPaG

they wont remove one mark because of one spelling error! you need to relax

The problem is that I have used the word "omg" in q5 of my exam and I was asked to write a blog, however I later realised after the exam finished that I wrote slang and I'm worried I might lose marks because of that.

If it relates to the language used by that particular age group, then it therefore relates to the question asked, so they can't really put you down for it as long as you didn't overdo it with the slang.

The question did not say anything about teenagers however it said to "write a blog on a memorable experience which affected you in some way" so i dont know who the audience really were. Will that make a difference?

Normally, if the audience isnt specified, youre allowed to choose who your writing is aimed at. Therefore, the marker will probably assume that youre aiming it at teenagers and since it is a quotation, you shouldnt get marked down

Most of the exam was relating to young people, it did not say anything about teenagers on that question but since the paper was related to teenagers and does that mean that slang was appropriate to use at that content?

Wow! you know a lot about the exam.Have you done your exam today or you already done it before? you seem like you have had experience in putting in slang in the writing section of the paper and not losing any marks

I did it today but our teacher always tells us to think about the audience we are aiming our work at - i havent personally used any slang in mine but i wouldnt have thought youd lose marks for it
