Hi, do you remember if there was a 6 marker IYOW asking how Taylor Swift was exceptional? I could’ve sworn it was a 4 mark language question, but some people on Tiktok are saying that it was a 6 marker IYOW.

I remember a 4 mark language question on something but yeah I'm fairly sure the 6-mark was on how she's exceptional?

But doing 4 points is okay, I probably only got 4 marks for that question.

I swear the 6 marker was on how Taylor Swift appealed to the writer though, or what the writer liked about her. The exceptional question was a language question, wasn’t it?

Ye I think it was, but for how Taylor swift appealed to the writer I just wrote every good thing it said in the passage section about her

It said between lines “__”, didn’t it? I might be wrong but I looked over the paper quite a few times and I swear the 6 marker was on how Taylor Swift appeals to the writer or something like that, and the 4 marker - examples of language question was on Taylor Swift being exceptional. Some people are saying otherwise so I could very well be wrong but they could just be getting the 2 mixed up as you’d have similar answers to both.

I thought the 6 marker was on what the writer liked about Taylor Swift or how she appealed to him.

If I'm remembering right, the 6 marker was on why the song appealed to the writer, then there was a 4 marker on how TS affected their life, then there was a 4 mark language question on why she was an exceptional artist

I don’t remember the 4 marker on her being exceptional being a language question. Does anyone remember what they put for that so I can figure out if I messed it up or am just not remembering

i think it was the second to last question. it asked for two examples of language which showed Swift was an exceptional artist. Hope this helps!
