why is english GCSE evil ;(

idk what it is about english but no matter how good i do i always get a bad grade. in our last mocks i got 75% in both lliterature papers and that got me a 6. why is it so hard to score good? what do i need, 99% to get a 7?
and what do u even do when you get a weird question. something like, "how does shakespeare present the relationship between the Nurse and Capulet" or probably "how does shakespeare present Tybalt as a loveable character" [insert extract of tybalt threatening romeo]
plz why is english like this ;(

That grade threshold for a 6 is unusually high. To be quite frank, the chances that you'll get thresholds that harsh are slim enough for you not to worry.

Mood. English is such a horrible subject.

Not true at all. Some great stories can be written in the creative writing section.

Innit, i never know what to write for those so i write down some forced devices like similies but nope not good enough, even though it says so on the mark scheme.
And the thing with english is u cant even tell if ur right or wrong, grade 7 essays look almost identical to grade 9 essays....
