Is anyone doing best words for their poetry?

Yep, I am! Pre-1914...so Let Me Not etc - what are you doing?

And also Pride and Prejudice (love that book) and Inpector Calls.

Good luck for tuesday everyone! I'm a bit scared - 70% of your GCSE resting on one 2h15m exam...

I am doing Of Mice and Men, Duffy and Armitage.

You're lucky! 2 hours 15 minutes, I wish we had that much - ours is only a 1 hour 45 minute exam.

I think it was on the last chapter a year or so ago, so it's unlikely to be that again. Or I could be entirely wrong =S
My whole class struggled to get through the book, it was torture! So repetitive, and you're right about it being plot-less, it felt like it was set over a few years, not a few days!

To Kill a Mockingbird & Blood Brothers.

WJEC.

I don't know anything

Haven't done any past papers (full ones -- I have some individual questions but that doesn't help so much with timing which is my main problem) can't get hold of any to do either.

PANIC

Yeah, I agree. Most of my revision has been towards doing test essays, it seems, so I don't feel confident at all about English Language. And I feel really worried about the extract questions. If you're doing an open-book exam, feel sorry for those doing WJEC!

I think as a student we have more control of the english literature, english languague, is almost impossible to revise for except the pre- release booklet!

Of Mice & Men, Seamus Heaney & Gillian Clarke and Pre-1914 Poems.
This is the test i'm predicted highest on and it is really starting to make me nervous, I am clueless about Mice & Men, but on the other hand i'm quite confident on the poems, well I better be off to revise, no point wasting precious revision time on the interwebs. :s-smilie:

Go on Teachit and BBC Bitesize, the help they provide is actually extraordinary. In my Anthology the whole page is filled on all the poems. :biggrin:

In doing the Catcher in the Rye. Not many people do this one for some reason its not even on bitesize.
Also the pre1914 poems, Duffy and Armitage poems
One tip i have is to add your personal response about most things you say.
