Damn the Lit exam was hard, I'll be pleased with a B for that! Also took Music, English Lang, Music Tech, Physics and Critical Thinking. AAAEB I reckon for those =]
For the play, I studied Federico Garcia Lorca and in particular his play called 'La casa de Bernarda Alba'.
For the director, we did Carlos Saura and his film 'Cria Cuervos'.
We briefly looked at a couple of other texts by Lorca and films by Saura, but just very briefly. According to the AQA specifiation, there's no need to mention more than one piece by a playwright/director.
does anyone else think that when the grade boundaries are released on Monday they will be able to tell from it if they got into their firm or not-------because I think I just might
Nope. My place is dependent upon my economics score and essays are usually subjective so you can't really have a good estimate of your score. My friend tried that, thought he got close to 100ums for unit 2 and got a low B LOL.
But I'll probably be able to tell whether or not I got my A* in chemistry.

I was sent home for crying in January, I know it can't get worse than them results because basically my results then halted my entry to Glasgow. But hey, thumbs up. Success or failure, either way I'll end up on the results night out!
So on AQA, the paper is 2.5 hours and includes listening, reading, translation and the essay. You are advised to spend an hour on the essay.
Essay questions aren't as specific as say English lit GCSE, they are quite vague and generic because people can study different plays so the questions have to fit all the texts! Also, you can pre-prepare and memorise an introduction and a conclusion and it will work for pretty much any question.
A typical question will ask you to consider the most important themes, symbols in the text or the question may be more open-ended and ask why you like the text or why the text was successful. When doing practice essays and mock exams it will soon become apparent that you can recycle a great deal of information in every essay...
An offer that asks for grades and not points eg AAA or even BBC will just want grades and so if you have an offer of BBB and get ABC you haven't met your offer and it'll be up to the uni to decide. Also if your offer is grades then offer things that you can get points for like an epq or musical grades don't count - they then can only help the uni decides to give you a slightly lower offer. :-) hope that helps x
Yes, conditional- stupid typo. Then how comes some articles on the Internet that give advice on how to deal with such a situation say that you should call up the university and ask to speak to admissions tutor to ask if they will considered taking you in despite having missed your offer?
Do applicants get a notification as to whether they succeeded in getting into their chosen university at midnight on 15th August, or is that just a myth?
