Unit 6 Genre Studies anyone?

I'm sure if you argued your point, anything in this world could show an attitude and value . An example i have is a train advert where a train reached stations quicker than normal. The tempo is fast and tone/purpose is persuasive. Therefore the attitudes and values of the writers of the advert is that that particular company is the best one to choose to get to a certain place because it takes very little time to do so.

About 45 mins are reading time anyway so we won't have to write for *that* long. I think I'm just gonna try and plan it well, and try to put in the main points, shove in a bunch of quotes, and hope for the best!

I haven't actually revised for this exam, which is probably really bad of me. I will read over some stuff tonight, but that's all I plan to do.

In my head i've already finished my exams, as tomorrows english exam is my last. Maybe im seriously under-estimating it, or i have had enough of revision to even bother. My minds very unclear....but i know that i have to at least look over my notes. Gosh i hope this post doesn't come back to haunt me

I don't think many people have revised for this paper - I know I haven't! So try not to worry about it too much. It's my last proper exam too, and I havent had one since wednesday so I've gotten out of the revision mode!

In my mind I got an A at AS last year. I got an A in my coursework and need 87 UMS marks out of a possible 210 for a B overall, which is what I'm aiming for. The idea of A's has long gone. Now I have struggled with English this year, gaining the highest of a C in my essays, which isn't good for me. I do think though it is down to lack of effort, plus my teacher. Say I got half marks on the Wider Reading exam, so that's 45 UMS marks out of 90 (which I have hopefully got). To get a B overall I would need less than half marks in tomorrow's paper.

I also hope this post doesn't come back to haunt me. You seem to know a lot more than me though, trust me on that.

I am fed up of exams, and fed up of A Levels. I am sick of worrying for weeks on end about my exams. My advantage is from my exams and coursework already I am already on CCD. It has affected my way of thinking this time with my exams. I just hope I get my grades for uni.

I think there's a good chance of you getting an A to be honest! Really. Don't rule it out until you get your results. I've been getting mostly B's in English this year, the only A I got was from one Translations essay, which is the best essay I've ever written (imo) and a million times better than the one I wrote in the exam which is so annoying. If I can get a B tomorrow I should be ok for an A overall, but I don't see that happening!

I got an A for my c/w too, but I dunno what it is in UMS marks. I've worked out that I need about 137/210 for an A, but I don't see that happening!

Another question, do you have to contrast all three pieces side by side, or can you go through one first and then the other, and then the other? I'd say the first one is probably better, but just checking!

To work out your C/WK mark divide 90 by what it's out of (I think 50). Then times that number by the mark you got.

You are best doing it all the way through, although it is hard I know. That's why you should make a plan first. If you go through each one individually you will find you will repeat yourself when actually writing about their similarities and differences.

Aww, im sure everyone else with a correct way of thinking is in fact thinking along the same lines as you. I am, for sure! If i do good on this exam i also get a B, but i dont even want to think of my grades until i receive them in a little white envelope. But i obviously cant, so my plan is to do my best tomorrow (without too much revision, as i cant be asked), and keep myself busy during the holidays in an attempt to stray my thoughts away from my exams- esp biology!

just remember that you dont really have to do much in tomorrows exam to gain a point.....

After Wednesday I am completely cutting myself off from any discussion about exams and revision. Hmmm but I do like TSR so maybe not hehe.

All we can do is do our best. I know I will be nervous tonight, but I know at the end of the day, I have worked consistantly, especially last year.

Have your other exams gone okay. I have done 3 so far, all haven't gone as well as I hoped, but you never can tell I suppose.

I am moaning about exams, when I will only have had 5 this summer.

But it doesnt work like that because your marks are compared against everyone elses and either scaled up or down. I got 47/50, so hopefully it'll be 80-something UMS.

This is my last A level exam, but I have the AEA on thursday. THREE more hours of English! Grr.

I've had 10!

lol- 5 is a small number, yet very influencial towards your own life! I officially hate the OCR exam board, and the one reason that drove me to study hard this term was the prospect of not having to learn in depth about another damn plant at uni!

Well it probably doesn't work like that. I kinda hope it does though seeming as that's how I worked out my grades.

Stupid question, but did you volunteer for the AEA?

Lol. I really don't regret not taking Biology. I was considering it too.

I will definitely not miss analyising and comparing texts. No way. And as for poems? Eurgh.

I like reading, and I like creative writing. But this year I have really not enjoyed English.
