About 4-5 paragraphs, each para had about 3-6 quotes. I think. My mind is a bit blank now... You?
This is what I think I got A1 - 5/5 A2 - 4/5 A3 - 5/10 A4 - 5/10 A5 - 5/10 Which all equals to 24/40 Now I am relying on the narrative story to boost my grade up hopefully.

What do you think you got for each one?
No idea, I'm really bad at judging my own work! How do you guess???
I always thought I failed my mocks but I kept getting like 80/90% in them I thought it went okay, so it's maybe going to be something like 5/4/7/7/8? Then maybe 32/40 for the story? But it wasn't v. imaginative so maybe only like 28... I have no idea! I'll just wait for august...

During the exam I counted how many quotes (paragraphs) I done for each one and each one equals to one point So I added them up Then I got upset as I only just did over a half Hopefully my narrative was good I probably need 26/40 in my narrative to pass overall (so 50/80) because the predicted grade for a 5 is about 60-65% as I have heard.

I think you get a point for the point/quote, and a point for the explanation usually, up to like 8 marks, and then the final two marks if you make particularly perceptive comments. So you might have done better than you think

My English teacher told me each paragraph should have 1 quote, 1 technique and 1 explanation and that all equals to 1 point. Is that what your English teacher told you?

So 10 marks - 10 quotes (7 if really detailed) with techniques and explanation

Not quite. I was told to use as many quotes as we can squish in to support our points. I tend to find a common point, use a bunch of quotes and explain how the techniques in the quotes achieve whatever my point was. I use a paragraph for different points, or maybe focus on interesting adjectives/verbs in one, another for structural things etc...
haha i think I write too much tbf. If they were really detailed you'll probably be fine ^^
i don't think they were. i didn't know the exam technique and i was too lazy to attend revision sessions (okay, my fault). i used my knowledge of english literature and tried adapting myself to it.

oh well. It's done now, so just focus on the next one and your other exams and don't worry about it ^^
It went better than i thought cuz i was stressing I did overviews for all 10 markers and that 2nd 5 marker Probably about 1 page or 1 1/2 per 10 marker Took me 1 hour 20 mins
