Yes. I think taking on the world has come up in a specimen before , but not sure if that counts as actually having 'come up' before
I was given a question of how does the writer make his feelings abut his experiences in Somalia clear for A Passage to Africa- I wasn't really sure abut the wording of the question and how to answer it

Could you please give me a link to this specimen if possible Thanks :smile:
If you look at the grade boundaries on the edexcel website they all say marks out of 100. Yet paper 1 was out of 60 and paper 2 was out of 30. So i was wondering where do the extra marks come from ?

The exam mark out of 60 gets converted into a score of 70 , coursework is worth 30% 10 on a poetry/prose comparison, 10 on speaking and listening and ten on persuasive/creative writing
