Edexcel GCSE English language (1EN0) - Paper 1 Fiction & Imaginative - 4 June, 2019

This is a chat thread for Edexcel's GCSE English language Paper 1: Fiction and Imaginative Writing.

I thought that I would create the exam thread for this one since I did it last year. I scored 59/64 on this paper (with full marks for my imaginative writing). If any of you would like help from me, a simple DM will suffice.

The exam will take place on Tuesday, 4 June 2019.

Discussion for paper two: https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=5953312

Hopefully, @Evil Homer still hasn't added it to the list yet, which is unfortunate. I hope he does soon though. :smile:

Lol, it took a while for him to add my threads too. But I'm sure he's busy with other TSR issues. :wink:

That is pointless because it can negatively affect you and it doesn't breed anything useful unless you perform better under stress, in my opinion. :smile: Stay strong. This exam isn't until June anyway, so you have time.

It's natural to feel a little daunted! The sooner you start revising effectively, the sooner you'll start to feel more in control. If there is a particular question bothering you try to make sure you allot enough time to it. Best of luck!

There is not just one way to answer this, but a multitude of ways. I intend to cover these things in my thread for paper two.
Hi,
I naturally feel daunted to do imaginative writing I dunoo but cannot help my feelings. How do I become good at imaginative writing task? Do I need to read books everyday to advance my vocabulary?
I am looking forward for help as much as possible for the gcse English language Edexcel exam.

How did you manage the timing for this exam? Did you spend 45 mins on the writing questions as recommended or did you do something different?

I don't actually remember. I do think I rushed most of the writing section and went back to questions three and four at the end, but I definitely used a hell of a lot more on my time on the writing section. That's for sure.
