When you're trying so hard to look at the time on the clock but it's too far away and the invigilator gives you a dirty look because it looks like you're looking at somebody else's work.

hahaha that was SO me today
mine went okay however I feel as though I used uneccesary quotes coz I couldn't think of the right ones. also by the time I got to my second question I was drained out af because I put all my effort into the t first that my brain went blank. don't even know what ish I wrote for the second one and didn't even
get time to check over it.. I did Romeo And Juliet and pride and prejudice btw. overall it wasn't that bad tho -_-

i just want low ass grade boundaries tbh

to the people that say this exam was easy in other threads it really wasn't and they probably do edexcel or wjec.

the banquo question was so odd. like he has like 2 lines and is dead most of the time?? aqa are you okay?

a christmas carol i looked at whilst planning for macbeth and just pretended i never saw it because i had no clue what fear was doing. like where is it on the themes?

this is the most comprehensive chart and WHERE does it say "fear" in themes??

Well that’s just ur work ethic. U don’t revise Banquo and u don’t revise poems. Don’t blame AQA
