It depends on how small your writing is, but my teacher says 5 for poetry, 6 for Macbeth and 7 for comparative (A4 pages that is)

I'm starting to get afraid about maths tbh, i really want an A in it but the way its being marked and the fact that people barely know what is on the paper is freaking me out!
Nah this one is different, it's being done by the Maths Teachers Association or something like that... my teacher mentioned the George Humphrey one alright, but it's not supposed to be as good, it's just him going through his own book :pac: this is the one i'm on about if you wanna have a look http://www.corkmaths.ie/
yeah I getcha, but at least a good few exam papers are being published now so you can get a pretty good idea. Plus some stuff like differentiation is the same as it was on the old course 0 -

Not to mention that Bruce only studied 2 poets last year, guess which two? Plath and Heaney! Consequently nobody got an A in English in there and then so nobody got 8A's!
There's definitely an element of schadenfreude associated with that!
I'm so glad about that.
Some of these grind schools piss me off so much only studying half the course and hoping that all goes well. 0 -

Ugh I'm not a bad writer but I'm terrible at condensing stuff down, I tend to write too much and by the end of an exam my writing is illegible. Hopefully by June I'll have mastered the art.
Anyway poetry for me is about 4-5 pages, Macbeth around the same and my comparatives always seems to go onto the seventh page. And unseen poetry will be lucky to get a few bulletpoints!
The worst thing is, my writing is really quite small. 0 -

Sí! I have 0 interest in music so during summer I decided that I have to get into music so I'll be somewhat normal in college, and what better way to get into music than listen to an ipod (I do realise that this form of logic is very stupid, meh ) 0 -

Seriously, not being snarky, how is that possible?

Dunno, I didn't grow up around much music, we didn't get a radio until I was 8 and even with the radio my dad would only listen to show band music and no offensive to anyone who likes it, but I hate it. Obviously when I hear certain songs I generally know if I like it or not and I favour some songs over others but I'm not a fan, I don't look up music on line or follow charts, I only know of the most famous artists and songs out there, my friends knew I didn't know much music but when they played some of the music they had on their phones they were actually shocked at the tiny amount of songs/singers I know.

Well then *rubs hands* may I proffer David Bowie's Hunky Dory, Jethro Tull's Aqualung, and Daft Punk's Discovery? These are my favourite Albums-I-Don't-Skip-Any-Songs albums :P0 -

Sure, I don't know who any of those artists are bar David Bowie (80s singer, correct me if I'm wrong), but I'll give them a listen
You appear to be into very 70s music (although I do recognise changes from Shrek 2 :P)0 -

I suggest that you start listening to BBC Radio 1, Capital, SPIN and try and find songs and artists you like. You don't HAVE to love chart music but everyone likes some type of music, you just have to discover some of the artists that you're destined to love! Radio 1 would be my first port of call, a fantastic station which plays a great variety so you're bound to find something you like. You can then go onto their website and find out the name/artist of the song or Shazam it and start listening to more of that artists' stuff. You'll have a comprehensive array of music on your iPod in no time....0
