How well do you feel you did in ENG LIT AQA LITB 8th June 2010?

Lets see how well people think they did

This is for the LITB AQA spec specifically.

I managed to finish on time, which is a good sign. Other than that, I can never really tell with english tests. Just seems to depend on the kind of examiner.

I did Gatsby for the first part and Curious Incident/Mariner/Keats for the second.

Anyone else do those texts?

That was where my answer fell apart, I could only really write about the wedding-guest in the last stanza and the "He who prayeth best etc..." stanza.

What kinda things did you write about.

My time management was a bit off, I spent too long on Ab, so when I wrote about endings for B I didn't have enough time to put in quotes for Pride and Prejudice. But I managed to do well (*I think*) and included quotes for all my other texts, and I still put all my points across for Pride and Prejudice, so I voted "big smile". :biggrin:

Do you guys try and make as many points as possible or only include a few but developed points?

I ended up writing 2 or so points for each question for about a side each. Always got to a point where time was closing in or I couldn't think of anything more.

For Section A or B??

I made points (like my teacher advised) or characters, setting, narrative voice, time & sequence and other language techinques for Section A question a...for section A b) I did an intro, made 2 points disagreeing with the statement and one for (lol).

Section B- intro, Gatsby ending, tennyson poetry (Mariana and Godiva) endings- compared the two and said how mariana remains a trapped women in society which reflected the Victorian era and how Godiva's ending was more inspiring and victorious and was maybe a statement that Tennyson was making about women-how women should be more like Godiva...then I wrote about the Kite runner and the motif of the kite, then a conclusion :biggrin:

Ah, my answers are never that structured. I usually just end up writing free-form. Sometimes it feels like I'm having a detailed discussion with the examiners lol.

For part B) I only wrote one point for/against but they were a page each...I don't know if that's enough though.

I wrote that if the poem is read like a Christian allegory where the Albatross symbolises Christ then the Mariner appears to be a prophet by the end who has a compulsion to tell his story to the people he meets to warn them what will happen if they don't love God's creation and linked it to Coleridge being a Chrisitian.

I dont think it was enough though, my Section B was weak and i'm really worried now :-S
