I just came out of my English lit test, paper 2, I mis-read the first question (I do inspector calls), I wrote about Mr birling when it asked for Mrs birling, will I get any marks for organising and structuring work, vocab, quotes at all?!?
Oh ****. Umm, well you could still get some marks, but I wouldn't expect high marks. Maybe you made up for it in the other parts of the paper though, who knows. Sorry.
I'm so sorry but I highly doubt so. Your whole essay needs to focus on answering the question and if you didn't then you're not ticking off AO1, which allows you to progress to AO2. Hopefully your examiners nice!

I won't lie, at first when I read the question I saw Mr Birling, and when I came out of the exam many others also thought it was Mr Birling at first. However we all did the second question anyway.
Perhaps it was the exam stress that led you to think it was Mr Birling, but don't worry about it. "What's done is done." You may still get marks for AO2, which is separate from AO1. Besides, you still have poetry to gain marks from and the entirety of paper 1, so you can still pass, be even get a 6 or possibly even a 7 if boundaries are low.

I'm sure you will, even if it was the wrong person
To all of you- it's done it's a very easy mistake to make and the examiners will respect that. You'll lose some marks, but if you've done a good answer for Mr Birling then you should get credit for that and the way you wrote/structured it as well as how you evidenced and anything that you said that was relevant to the question. Try and move on and focus on your other exams, you can't change this now. Hopefully come results day you'll all be pleasantly surprised
