I'm doing:
-Julius Caesar
-Stories of Ourselves
-Songs of Ourselves

Quite prepared for poetry, but scared for the Drama (Julius Caesar) :frown:

Anyone else doing any of these?

I'm doing I'm the King of the Castle, All My Sons and Songs of Ourselves.

To be honest, this will be the exam I will do worst on... I'm not prepared at all. Need to reread the books..

Can you guys finish in time? I find it impossible to finish all three questions :frown:

Time runs out when I start the third question lol

I haven't even read one of my set texts all the way through once! I've only read summaries of it online... not a great way to revise... But seriously, Silas Marner is soooo boring. And it's not like I'll have enough time to read it considering I have exams all morning and afternoon (apart from on Friday) next week...

I'm doing the exact same. :smile:

I'm more prepared for the play and poems than the stories.

I believe I got very bad mark for poetry but I am very satisfied and relieved as I finished in time (I had never finished my practice exams in time) and I will never ever have to do literature exam again except unseen paper next week.

Which poetry question did you do?

I did my drama and narrative story questions first (poetry was meant to be second) and I spent too long on these so I didn't really have the time to do comparison question (I believe the pied beauty and birthday was comparison question?)...so I rushed the City Planner context question...

I would've done better if I had done pied beauty/birthday question.. but I couldn't really afford to spend time flipping through the Anthology so I had to give up :frown:

I thought that it went terribly, although when I read back through at the end my essays were actually quite decent, especially the poetry one. I did the question on Horses for poetry, the writing in role question for the Tempest and the extract question in I'm The king Of The Castle. I don't think they could have picked a worse passage for the ITKOTC one!
