I didn’t have enough time to compare the two unseen poems. I struggled at first, but you could identify many language techniques in the poems. I don’t think it was too bad.

I do Classics too and the first thing I thought of when I saw the first unseen poem was ‘omg Epicureanism’ then I read Harry as ‘Horace’ instead like ffs

I have small handwriting and spent the entire exam worrying about whether the examiner would be able to read it whilst still writing small 🙃
For the 8marker in unseen I compared the context of the poem and the structure, and I don’t think I did the method, will I still get marks ?
You should, but you will be capped at around 5-6. May I ask how you wrote about the context of the poem?
that is still good you never know you might get more marks
