OOHHHHH I HATED that exam
but everyone in my school was like "that was so easy" but i literally started crying after the exam"
so what im doing is thinking i got aroubd 15 marks in both section A and B
30 marks - paper1
grade boundaries for last years

135 120 106 91 76 61 45 29 14
so to get a 4 you need 31 more marks
to get 5 you need 46
6 you need 61
hope this helps xx

If it's any consolidation, I thought my macbeth paper was awful, and I didn't even properly finish it and I ended up getting a high grade in english, So I would say theres a high change you'll be surprised on how you did, so don't fret over it too much

I didn’t cry until after the exams when I heard what everyone else was saying 😕

I did Romeo and Juliet with Jekyll and Hyde and I hated it 😭 I’m usually passing but I think I probably got a 2 😭 honestly don’t know what to do with myself
You won't care about this exam in 10 years time.
i think on results day we should all post our actually results for english literature ans compare results form what we thought we would get.
but we also have animal farm (or another book for anyone else) and poetry which can bring UP our grade not down
i found macbeth and jekyll and hyde questions reasonable in a way but yet i still struggles....stop thinking about it you are straining yourself by the past...let go...relax and concentrate on your other subjects as we have chemistry tomorrow so we need to focus on that....dont worry bout a thing cos every little thing is gonna be alright....<3 xxxx

Remember Paper 1 for English Lit is only 40% of your final Literature grade, it may seem like a lot but you can definitely pull yourself up for Paper 2, as it’s 60%. So revise hard for it next week!

I did Romeo and Juliet with Christmas Carol, and I hated it. Even though the questions were straight forward, it added additional pressure to find so many quotes.
I cried at home lol

You're lucky. I spent so much time on Romeo and Juliet, that I flopped A Christmas Carol
