I don't think it was easy, but it wasn't particularly hard either.

nah of mice and men had a fairly good question!

anyway, poems from other cultures should be easier to revise. what a relief.

of mice and men was quite gripping i liked it, but after reading it about 5 times to get to know it, I kinda got bored...lol.

It was a pretty nice exam actually. However, the poems that i had wanted to talk about didnt come up so i guess i had to improvise a little but oh well. The short story question was ok too :smile:

I actually enjoyed writing about both my set text and the poems, I like english lit. I hated the fact we only 1 hr 45 minutes, I could have put so much more, Ididn't have the time to go into as much detail as I wanted.

Both equal really -plenty to say about each. That said, there was a particularly good Catcher question to get going on, and the poetry question 25 was pretty good as well.

I thought it was quite good, I was smiling when I got a question about his relationship with the family for Kestrel for a Knave. It was what I had revised the night before :biggrin:

hmm last year i did english on aqa and they ****ed up the marking. only 7 ppl in my year (i go to a grammar school) got a*s when about were expected. anyway about 10 ppl sent off for a remark and they all went up so aqa issued a remark of all of our papers for free and i ended up going up by 13 marks!!

i found them both quite easy. more the novel than the poetry. i still cant believe i finished the questions. i think that the mice and men question had to be the easiest i have ever come across.
