I'm aiming for a 7

mate u answer 2 questions not 13

Why would they give you 13 questions if you werent meant to answer them? You wouldn't skip most of the questions on a maths exam...?

I'm aiming for a 7/8 too, do you reckon that would be realistic when I've only answered 7 questions? I wrote at least a page for all my answers

because there are loads of different texts that schools pick to study, e.g. my school picks macbeth and jekyll and hyde. you need to flick through the entire booklet to find the texts you study and only answer the questions of the text you studied. So for me, I would ignore the Romeo and Juliet question since i didn't study romeo and juliet, for example

Oh that's strange, we read through all the texts at my school to get a basic understanding of each of them. We're just told to answer as many of them in the time as possible

You’re only supposed to answer two of the texts on the exam. Are you actually being serious bc there’s no way you actually managed to write a page on every question?

i feel like every other text besides romeo and juliet got quite decent questions.. ☹️ 😢

stop trolling bro

Sorry I've literally just done what my tutor told me to do😭

r+j was good
wdym

it was jeggy, the question was too broad and already came up

Guess I kinda messed it up and i feel so stupid. I do Macbeth and jandh. f
MACBETH:
P1 - intiaiylly macbeth as unambitius, due to his loyalty to king Duncan’s (stupid i know) but his latent ambitions are awoken by prophecies. (Disdaining fortune with his brandished steel which smoked with bloody execution and stars hide your fires let not light see my black and depp desires)
P2 - Macbeth’s ambition becomes more prevalent (poisoned chalice quote from extract and i am in blood seeped so far (but i think i wrote quote wrong))
P3 - Macbeth ambition is unchecked leading to downfall (i have no spur to prick the sides of my intent and out out brief candle. Life’s but a walking shadow)
IS THIS THAT BAD… I wanted an 8 but i don’t think its happening do these kinda make sense as points
