remember BP2 was about her feelings towards his behaviour and not just his behaviour, making it more difficult...

I was hella baffed with question 2. The others were easy but question 2 ****ed me up. I wanted an A* but it looks like I'll have to settle for an A oh well

Is it me or; Question 2 paragraph B had almost no descriptive words? :colonhash:

Yeah but i found that i couldn't find any words for either :/ Also don't you think the questions were worded a little odd.

If it helps, you'll probably still get a high grade because of percentile :smile:

I nearly ran out of time to complete question 3b. There was 5 more minutes left so I just rushed my points. I pray I got atleast 30 or late 20's to secure that A.

'Settle for an A lol I'd be happy with a B.

Question one A3 was kinda hard. I was this close to just writing divorce. Mr. Head is a douchnoodle.

It went bad for me, I spent like an hour on question 3 trying to get it perfect, then like 40 minutes on question 1 and only managed to get 3 - 4 crap paragraphs in for question 2. Really upset :frown:

anyone think I can still get 34??

Question 2 was really difficult to find phrases. I think that as long as your Q1 and 2 are strong so say about 31-33 you should be fine. As long as you mentioned the overall effect, you would probably get into band 3

Thanks! I remember... It was a very hard pape, the hardest I've ever seen not gonna lie. You could've perhaps put that she thinks he's irresponsible or childish or immature perhaps? Maybe?

I was also running out of time, question 3 part B was literally like 5 lines and only half the points.

It was really odd, I am hoping I got 25 so I can get my B and leave English forever.

The writers effect question was so unfair it was like the description wasn't even great.

Overall I found it pretty easy though hoping for an A* but I'd settle with an A too

Guys, it's alright. Something I find common is that people will often think they have failed, when in reality, they have done better than they expected. Try not to worry too much :smile:

I didnt write the overall effect for q 2 but did 4 mediocre paragraphs each-is that okay??
