ELAT tomorrow! Who's prepared?

I don't know how time has passed by so quickly but the ELAT is tomorrow and I feel nowhere near prepared but at the same time I don't want to beat myself up too much over it / how's everyone else feeling?

Please remember that not all time zones will have sat the exam yet

Do NOT discuss specific topics/questions or anything which could offer an advantage to someone who hasn't yet say the exam :smile:

I'm not sure, to be honest. I didn't like the topic all that much but found something that I could use to link three pieces. I'm not sure I compared/contrasted them as closely as I should've and I definitely forgot to talk about style :/ overall im not too optimistic 😂

What about you?

Literally same... I thought it was very hard and the extracts i chose were hard to analyse. I also feel like what I said made no sense and like I just messed up. :frown:

Well I was really happy with it and especially my close analysis
Then I realised I'd used one of the character's names wrong throughout the whole essay having instinctively given the name that was in the title
So I'm not especially hopeful either
Pity I messed it all up with one stupid mistake :frown:

Once we're allowed to discuss more details, I'll let you know what I said exactly. I just hope that they get the point I'm trying to make

all in all don't beat yourself up too much over it, you did what you could / where else are you applying?

oh no

I doubt that they're going to penalize you greatly for that however
