Not sure if there is already a thread out there for this exam, I looked but couldn't find one.
So yes, how is everyone feeling for this exam? Any revision tips? Any topic you love/hate?
Good luck

I haven't even started revising and I wouldn't know where to start atm! It doesn't help that my English teacher is away on paternity leave either so we're kind of at a standstill. -_-' Do you have any techniques that you'll practise especially as it's closed text? I was thinking of writing quotes on post-it notes and sticking them around my bedroom walls with quick analysis/interpretation.

Hi
Yeah, sort of know the feeling - our teacher has just left, so we have a new one, it's mixed everything up.
Quotes? hang on, are you talking about Lit? This thread is about Language

Finished it and handed it in. My teacher will then mark the classes and give us any feedback (well, only if it has gone horribly wrong )

ah lucky! wish ours was done faster :/ mostly a lot on how language is used to reinforce stereotypes, particularly Penny, because she's portrayed as the blonde bimbo mostly (to be honest i havent done very much yet
).

so we needed extra time.Haha, that's so cool! Although studying TBBT for English may kill it a little
We've not long started it actually, but I looked into it in advance for my coursework
Have you done language change yet?

It doesn't have to be submitted until May, but our teachers are being strict. Our initial deadline was before Christmas, but it was extended by about 2 months as one of our teachers left
so we needed extra time.

hiya,
Me and my friend were just wondering hows things going for language change? My class had a bit of trouble this year regarding teachers and we have done no work whatsoever, the teacher that we've got cant really teach us, do any of you have tips or advice or any good material that you could pass on? It will be really useful.
Thanks

There isn't much you can do really apart from revise terminology and practise questions
I'll try and find some resources for you
I hope things get better regarding your teacher!

I am aiming for an A. I am in quite a good position for an A and since I got an A last year and in my coursework, I think I need a C or B in this exam to get an A overall
What do you need?

Last year I got 158 UMS (2 off an A, so annoying!), resitting the coursework to try and push it up though!

What are you going to change about your coursework or are you completely redoing it? 
I think I got 178 or something

In terms of the exam this year, I'm pretty good with the terminology and everything, just need to figure out how to get into those really high marks!
