Keep discussion in this thread! 1 thread per paper, yes? Yes. Lovely! So I won't come home from my own exam tomorrow and see 50 threads about English 1, right? ... : (

So how was it?


*I feel almost like a parent sneaking downstairs to put the presents under the christmas tree... Except instead of presents, it's exam postmortem, which btw, I encourage nobody to take part in, but I know everyone will, so there is no harm in being prepared...

Found it easy.

Did the reading comp on short story.

Question B on the letter.

Essay on President deciding whether or not to launch missles at north worea in the midst of a war while theres rioting outside and the rioters break into the white house lead by a former general.

challengemaster

Well that wasn't bad at all... delighted with that tbh!

HL - Text 1 Question A
Text 2 - Question B - Short Speech
Composing task - Question 1 - Magazine article on experience of education

Pala!

Found it okay.

Done the (A) on Text One. (B) on Text Two and done the article about school life.

I didn't write as much as I could, because I didn't use the time very well. But what I did write was good IMO. Just want a C3 - C1 so not looking for a great score, I'm definitly on track anyway.

You done it did you?

Then you probably failed.

Pala!

What?

I thought that went really well, to be honest. I did Question A on the zoo, B on the decisions for teenagers and the school life for the composition.

Here's how much I wrote (spoilered if you get nervous about this kind of thing:

1 page for each in Question A
2 pages for Question B
5 pages for Comprehension (quite happy with that, usually only get around 4)
TOTAL 10 PAGES (yay for me )

I did the exact same questions. In fact a huge amount of people seem to have done tha combination...which makes me a little nervous because now theres increased concentration on those areas. I felt it all went grand for me anyways. Its only the paper 2 that worries me.

MrSnuffleupagus

Question A on text 2, B on text 1 and the essay on Science and technology... Didn't go as bad as I thought... I think....

Bongomc

Ordinary Level was the easiest paper I've ever done.

Text 1 was about Youtube so I did Q. A on that
Text 3 Q. B was about the fascination of the internet

Then the essay I did was about teens in the 21st century which was easy enough.

Around the same number of pages for B and the composition. I would have liked to write more for the composition but I ran out of time, I was just on three pages. Overdone question A.
