I did it. Absolutely hated it. I did section C questions 11 and 12 and they were the worst questions I have ever seen. Also, I found it annoying that questions 02 and 03 were practically the same. Overall, terrible paper and I hope the grade boundaries are very low.

They should be :angry:

really annoyed me that paper! I'm a A/B grade theory student and I probably got an D on that paper. Furious. :angry:

Aware this is a late reply, but have been looking for a thread to take out my AQA anger on :wink:

I did section A and B, I thought they were quite good and I'm glad the questions were the same as they are every year. I don't think anyone did section C in my school (even though we get taught all 3), but I've heard it was really nasty :/ I think grade boundaries may be lower than normal- but they can't be much higher as usually about 93.3% overall is an A* 😬 What did you all do for your practicals? :smile:

I think a lot of teachers found the wording of section C an issue and most people struggled with it so there should be lower grade boundaries! How many pieces did you do? We did 3- a devised (out group did about evacuees in ww2), a scripted (blue remembered hills) and a second of the one we did worse in- so I did another devised but about the London bombings :smile:

Are you talking about GCSE AQA drama?

If so, the paper turned out to be a lot better than any of my practice papers :smile:

in my mock I got 10 / 40 for section B, obviously I did 01,02,03,04 but then I did 07 and 08 - as I did technical theatre as one of my coursework pieces I thought it would be easier to write about. No way.

No one at my school does section C, and yeah, I think it's 74 / 80 for A*, along with A* coursework.

I did Blue remembered hills, a theatre in education piece about sexting and the dangers and girl interrupted! And section C was awful!! They best have an appeal...

I wrote about a devised physical theatre piece for section A, then I did section B and wrote about Top Girls.

So a girl interrupted your exam? That's really unfortunate :/

Well done

I got 119/120 for my coursework - I lost one mark because my shoulder pad fell out. I didn't make a fuss or anything about it, but apparently that was out of character.
My first coursework piece was actually a D - I was the only person in the class to fail that one. Luckily you only submit your best two :smile:

my group were all really pushy as they wanted the most lines etc, but I didn't want to get into the arguments and things. Oh well, I got the A* for my best two courseworks in the end :smile:

It's usually about 186/200 for A* so you could get an A in written if you got an A* in practical and vice versa- I think I got about 117/120 in practical so I can get about 70/80 to still get marks into an A* (aka not have the 186 borderline thing😂).

Anyone studying Coram Boy or TSOTM? Do you genuinely think Brighella will come up? Has anyone got any good notes on him/her?
