Sophie, you saw my mock.
Don't do it!

I got the same marks on religion & daily life... and I did both :redface:

We don't have to know anything about the graffiti put up for local elections do we?
Nothing about what some of the abbreviations stand for...
I do hope not but I have a horrible feeling it was in the books and we definitely learnt this at some point.

Graffiti = yes :p:

Abbreviations = don't think so :confused:

I have never done relgion. Still I would take that over daily life :s-smilie:

That's because you're clever!

However, I, being stupid, managed 50%.

I really wouldn't recommend it. My other comments were in jest.
It's a much more open topic and you need to have really in-depth knowledge of obscure things like Mithraism and ceremonies in the Cult of Isis... :confused:

Never again.

Agreed - like I said above, 50%.
The long question was on Divination, I didn't have a clue and so wrote about Harry Potter.
Apparently that was wrong!

And there's lots on Druidism.

Are you guys doing an extra language paper tomorrow or the other one?

Reply 70

Well I'm doing Prose and Background if that's the different ones?

OP

I'm doing Prose, I think I probably would've preferred to do an extra language paper though, I'm quite good at translating

Reply 72

I am doing extra language and I prefer the translating. I know the vocab and most of the grammer, so should be ok :s-smilie:

Reply 73

I like the prose - I like comparing it to the Virgil because it makes it seem soooo easy.

Reply 74

Again, my school has to be the odd one out :s-smilie:

Reply 75

I think the Prose is okay provided you learn it properly.
I think a harder translation would kill me; I'm bad enough at the simple ones!

Maybe your school is just clever.

Reply 76

I think they are trying to make us fail probably. I mean the harder IGCSEs as well...

What are IGCSEs?

International GCSEs. They are meant to be harder than GCSEs because you need to hit the mark scheme really precisely, and there were loads of 4/5 marks questions...Quite hard and still Chem and Phy to come :s-smilie:
