Yeah, are you doing the AQA syllabus.. thats a bitch to do.. i'm completely sick of poems from other cultures and Carol Ann Duffy

[XA04]

Yep, AQA.


Will just be glad to get it out of the way tbh. I wish I could take my annotated texts into the exam like you used to be able to - would make it so much easier.

i was pretty peed off about that.. same with french, for the last like.. 10 years you could take a dictionary in, but oh no.. now we have to do it from memory. still, agreed, good to get it out of the way.

[jackvdbuk]

well im only gonna revise tomorow for botu 2 hours, going over a few things liek exam techniques and stuff so should be fun *rolls eyes*

[Norky]

Started revising today, first exam is English Lit on Tue. I'm doing Lord of the Flies which ain't that bad, managed to read it through in a day. I can't stand Seamus Heaney and Gillian Clarke though, erk!

If you're doing AQA Eng Lit, make sure to read through the examiner comments for past years on the website. They're quite informal and give lots of information about common mistakes and which sort of questions people do best in.

I quite liked the poems I did for English and English Literature. Quite a few good ones, but the one I always remember is Education for Leisure.

Exams? What are they?


Good luck everyone

[bsodmike]

Good luck to who ever has exams. I had the Control Systems modules on Tuesday and got Silicon Tech tomorrow (oh these are University exams btw)... Tuesday went well, confident of at least 55-60% (55 worst case). Tomorrow's should be interesting...at least it starts at 1pm and not at 9am!

[Dav0s]
