    I'm a fast writer and a quick thinker. Doesn't mean I did great in the exams though, but ah well live and let live :)


    On a Beatley note: Did anybody notice John Lennon Airport was mentioned in Paper 1, I had a massive grin on my face when I read that :D I had my Beatles cup with me which has a picture of John on it (obviously) and I thought to myself "congrats John you
    made it to the paper" :P

    do you mean 29 pages altogether ?

    ...Spurious, that's a good example of what I call symbols! ;) Quality doesn't matter, at least you wrote loads! :) I feel better now because I know i'm not the only one fu*ked if handwriting matters :D.

    I think whether or not the examiner can read it is very important. Writing loads is pointless if it doesn't even pass as English. I personally don't believe that the two of your writing is that bad.

    Brilliant! Amazing! Delighted!

    Seriously, both papers were great, although with Paper Two, I had so much to say and so little time to say it! My examiner was looking at me a bit funny though haha, had to ask for paper every five minutes...:pac:

    People are boasting about the amount of pages they got done, its about quality not quantity, but if you got quality+quantity, expect an A and goodluck :P and you seen your examiner or do you mean superintendent?

    You can predict the future?! :eek: Yush! I just got an A in English ;). I messed up a few questions(Studied poetry Q2), but they were opinion questions, so hopefully the screwy upy part doesn't matter :).

    Oh yeah, meant superintendent! Haha sorry, I'm just so relieved. I'm dreadful when it comes to English exams; I have all the information and I just want to get it all out! Really hope I get an A; I would be over the moon!

    I can read that. People new to correcting or teaching might not be able to, but if that is the case, it will be given to the Advising Examiner to correct. The problems occur when it really is illegible.

    How many pages have I done if I finished both booklets with 2 pages to spare overall? I can't really work out how much I used up, because when I finished one question, I went onto the next page to start the next. So for Drama Question 1, if I finished 3/4 down a page, I went onto the next page for Drama Question 2.

    Some silly mistakes in paper 1 might have cost me 10 marks max but everything else went pretty well.

    C/B/A looking to get any of them

    What did you guys do during your break? I went to Corrib with my friends then went back to my house looked at some quotes while eating potatoes and sweet corn (omnomnom) and listened to "I'm Too Sexy" over and over again because we're just cool that way :cool:

    I didn't get to finish the personal writing unfortunately but I did good in everything else. What did yous write about for when you had to write an article for a broadsheet or tabloid. I picked a tabloid and wrote about how a pipe bomb was discovered in an estate in Belfast and it was planted by the IRA. The headline was 'I.R. Nay'.

    I wrote a tabloid article about the sinking of the titanic. My headline was "Sunken promises: Unsinkable ship sinks, killing thousands"

    Just got home, man I had the exact same experience as DublinArnie! I mean word for word :O Even my writing went to **** when I started rushing :L I'd take a B/C as we have not had even a semi-decent teacher in the last 3 years, and everything I learned was from looking up on the internet.. (this website saved me) Time to go learn off an Irish Essay, An t-Ádh, Subh Milis, and a letter which probably won't even come up :/
    Best of luck to everyone

    I hope everyone didnt write a full article because the question specified the article was for the front page so had to be exciting and brief with full news inside the newspaper such as page X
