AQA english language exam 7/6/16

hahaaha, no I mean in question 4, not 2, but speaking of question 2, i thought it was a bit cheeky that they tried to slide in the sub-heading as well, I rarely see that

How did everyone find it?

I found that my time keeping f*cked up completely
I had enough time to finish question 6, but I found that I still didn't write enough (one side and a paragraph)
Also question 4 I accidentally analysed 'shoots' in the Bear Grylls source, which I'm not sure is allowed because it was in the sub-headline?

And question 3 is always a misery :'(

That's really reassuring thank you!
Just to reassure you, I honestly don't think the form matters that much. In my mock, I didn't do any type of form whatsoever because I didn't realise we had to and I still got 11/16 marks and it wasn't an amazing answer so I think that doing the wrong form will lose you maybe 1 or 2 marks maximum Good luck in all your other exams

wait wtf did it say u had to analyse the sub heading, what sub heading i didnt even see that lmao ahhh

I started on Section B first and then moved onto Section A. And yeah, my timing was bad too, I had only 8 mins left to finish question 1 which was the last question I answered. :-(

I was just wondering if I could ask you a few questions regarding todays exam. In question 2 apparently it asked you to analyse the headline, sub heading and picture… I was panicking so obviously did not read the question properly and just did 2 x headline and 2 x picture. How many marks will I lose for this? In question 3 I assumed Francis was a girl and referenced ‘she’ and ‘her’ throughout but realised at the last second and dint have time to go back and change it. How much will this affect my mark?Also in question 6 it asked you to write an article in response to the statement. Lots of people are saying that you should have only given one point of view but I did agreeing and disagreeing with the statement as well as including public views. Have I messed up this question?Apologies for the long message!

Did anyone else write that the Bear Grylls article was humorous?
I really think I've screwed up. For the headline I wrote that "Grylls grilled" is a play on words? and I wrote that its humorous, like the issue the article is referring to.
Then I said that the sub heading was a long sentence, and was sort of unnecessary -.-, therefore being effective as it links in with the whole unnecessary long winded issue the article is referring to.

all my english teachers had this session where they all did a language exam under timed conditions and they all came out flustered: there's not enough time.

hopefully the grade boundaries are low

grade boundaries are always the same

what are the grade boundaries?
