AQA ENGLISH LANG PAPER 2 - please send advice!!!

Ok so my paper 2 was a whole MESS and I’m a bit worried about what grade I’ll get so if anyone could comment any idea would be wonderful!! Btw I’m predicted an 8 but after paper 1 and 2… yeah i dont think i’ll get that💔.

SECTION A:
Did question 1. Skipped question 2 so lost 8 marks 💔. Did 2 paragraphs for question 3 which had 2 quotes in each and i zoomed in on a word in both also do i think that was good. Only did a paragraph on question 4 ☹️ so probably will maybe get 5 marks??

SECTION B:
well in my answer i didnt even talk ab being in touch with nature 😞😞😞!!. i talked ab nature helps students mental health and wellbeing, it provides vitamin D??, also did an anecdote of a garden space in skl being shut down causing my depression ☠️☠️ so we deserve outdoor spaces to open for our wellbeing. My counter argument was ab free skl meals are more important in schools??, so i said a garden space can have the best of both worlds: nature and schools can provide a free meal. send help bc idk if that was even related to the statement at all!!! I used a bunch of language techniques, not much so structural but it was fine. I also didn’t even do subheadings bc i forgot💔😞 so my form will defo lose marks.

What do you guys think I could get?? And please omg tell me if my question 5 answer was good enough i spent too long on it!!!

I’d say providing you got 4/4 on question 1, obviously you said no marks on Q2, question 3 seemed to be your strong point so i’d say about 7 or 8 /12, Q4 you need to mention both sources and have clear similarities so if you only did one paragraph i doubt that’s clear and compelling enough, so i’d say about 4 or 5/16

Question 5: You responded to the statement it seems with the mention of well-being and the what it provides to the students and your ethos and anecdote seems strong, the counter argument is a little bit weak as it introduces the question solely about nature then goes on about schools as an example so the focus is nature not schools itself which is why like i said it’s a little bit weak but your use of lang techs and structures, i’d probably say 13/24 and 10/16 Which totals you at 17+23=40

obviously i haven’t read your answer so i’m making a guess purely based on what you’ve mentioned and the marks that i have seen awarded in the past! Hope this helps, and i’m sure you did well! :-)
