I know I hated question 2 because I couldn't find anything apart from personification.

No you failed lol. And I hope they were compound sentences. Stupid examiners should have chosen something with more features

I just felt like I was ********ting and trying to be relevant tbh. My story I think is good in terms of using all the language/structural techniques and punctuation but it's only relevant to the question about discovery at the end. And the discovery was very short so it wasn't like really well linked to the question

IGCSE is the harder option
I really struggled too. This is the first time doing the new spec so I am not expecting to pass considering I have only had less then five weeks to learn it.
Question 5 was oaky but I will get a low spag mark as I am really bad at spag.

I can agree question 5 was the best for me , however question 2 and 4 were dreadful , no liguistic devices at all.
I found question 3 and 4 hard
2 I struggled to start with manged to find a rule of three and metaphor i think at least not sure if they were right/ explained well enough

nice.
Mine was trash.
