    OMFG I DID 2 BY HEANEY TOO!! *AIR HAVE FIVE* I did digging and and mid-term break mine was like 3 and a half pages and then it left me like 10 minutes short but, i just got tired when it came to the novel i basically just scribbled down stupid things at the top of my head.

    Love Heaney! :PI used Follower and Blackberry Picking, and I was rushing my studied fiction answer too :( What novel did you study? Mine was To Kill a Mockingbird :)

    OMG The 2 english papers were kind of easy. But I think I might have made the worst mistake ever. I did the second question on media studies and it said: state disadvantages and advantages and i stated them for the campaign NOT the poster, is that wrong? and I also did dis+ad for both of the campaigns together instead of doing ad+dis of this and then ad+dis of that

    The question asks about the types of campaign. How you answered it sounds OK to me.

    My friend told me (her parents are teachers) that you never do anything in pencil for the JC - not graphs for maths, science etc etc cause sometimes they put the exams on the radiators and pencil fades away, is that true? xD

    Pencil can fade, yes, but there is no problem doing graphs etc. in pencil, in fact it's expected.
    Just don't use a very soft pencil as it smudges badly.

    But I've a question,
    What significance does my exam number hold?
    It's not like anyone will use it or anything.
    I don't see the issue.

    You'd be surprised what people could do with it.
    It's just not good practice and we don't need the SEC getting in touch again, for any reason.

    Ah okay, doesn't quite make sense but I guess,
    11111, surely that's someone somewhere's exam number..
    I don't see any significance....
    Anyway, my overall thoughts of the paper were good.
    Everyone says it'll fly by now that the first one's over and done with!

    to kill a mocking bird i dont know what i was at the examiner will probably think i started smoking weed at that stage. I said about how he accepted the tom Robinson case then i expanded to he wanted to combat racial prejudice bydefending him to his full ability regardless of what maycomb thinks and when scout says ****** he tells her not to say ****** he's trying to combat racism by getting his children to see its wrong and then at the court when he proves he's innocent... had like no quotes... woops

    I had like... 4? My answer was huge and I had 4 quotes. Like I always say, having a good understanding of the novel and having a comprehensive answer is step one, the quotes are little bonuses. Now I just need spurious to back that claim up.

    Perfect sentence to capture the moment haha :D
    Yeah I talked about Atticus too, but I only managed to get in one quote! I had about ten minutes to get that whole section done and bits and bobs of previous qs done so I was just like writing down stuff and thinking about other things. I wish I could have gotten in more quotes.

    lol the quotes i learned weren't there.... i said small quotes like saying "don't say ****** scout" "because If I didn't defend him I wouldn't be able to lift my head in town" "lawin for ****" those were the three i put in :L

    anyone knows what did you have to write about the character profile in unseen drama, I just did frank and I basically described him and how he's patient but annoyed that rita was late, he was being nice by calling her previous work etc.

    I basically did the same for Rita, I just described her and what she seemed like.
