I hated this play so much but thank goodness I got an A! Yeah, I love English Lit in general, it's just so different to what I thought it would be. I'm retaking my AS exam this year as well. It's so easy but so hard at the same time. A2 coursework is a nightmare right now, so like cherish the courseworks you're doing now haha! Good luck!

We're doing English Lit AQA A which I think is harder compared to B. Our coursework is really weird we're meant to writer about how the author presents comedy...how would you do that? Congratz on that A!!

Thanks

We did comedy as well! My question was messed up. Something about comedy in the play going from bad to good or something like that. I still have my essay if you want it.

I think this is the most recent one I have. I'm not certain though. A2 is okay. I love the texts I'm doing. It's just I struggle with the exam essays.

Hey, I read through your essay and just one word: WOW!

I noticed you slightly went over the word limit, is this acceptable because I heard aqa will not accept anything over?

It is slightly over but AQA allow you to go 10% over the word limit. Edexcel don't let you go over it at all.

Seriously? Maybe it's cos you're doing Lit A not B but that's what we were told.

I always thought you could go over by 10% too, however I've just seen this from a LITB2 examiner report :redface:

Oh. That's the first I've heard about this. I'm guessing its the same for A2 as well then?

That doesnt make sense, I do AQA B...so I should follow that spec?
