    Did anyone do the profile thing on if you were playing Frank/Rita in a production of the play? I was a little unsure of that one.. o_o

    I did! I just wrote about if I played her, how I'd portray her, what I'd wear/ look like, don't know if thats right though, quite worried about that :confused:

    I don't want to sound cocky but I think my paper one was amazing and i'd say i dropped a couple marks in my personal writing even though my essay came up i only had 30 minutes and was rushing to do it :P I put in everything hope my writing is clear. And since you're able to lose 55 marks to get an A, I think I got an A and If I didn't a B there's no way I could have dropped down to a C. I gave up on the novel I was tired and just wanted to finish :P Wby?

    i've told this to so many people, that's why Shakespeare is easier cause they give easier questions... they were a breeze.... everyone that did other drama made some type of mistake :L

    Did anyone else feel that the English junior cert was just like going through exam papers just without your teacher being there?

    H'mm, I honestly found the questions on Shakespeare actually tougher. I think it was because I was so nervous, my understanding of Shakespeare's language kind of froze for a minute or two, despite actually usually preferring Shakespeare o.o

    I think I messed up really bad in personal writing!!! I did the question where you put in the sentence about the audience, but I didn't write a story... I wrote an essay on my childhood memories! Will I get 0 now since it said write a story :/

    You won't get 0 - you might lose a few marks at most. Don't worry about it.

    lol no seriously i felt it was like that except she wasn't guiding us or something, I was so annoyed with the 3 poetry questions cause I always like to give detailed answers and when it's 10 marks you gotta dumb it down. :P

    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 for 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

    Paper one was fine. I thought I was going to run out of time at the end, (left my essay till the end), and I was rushing, but thank god I learned an essay off so I didn't have to think about it (I did the last essay option)

    Paper two was okay. Unseen poetry was a bit dodgy tbh, but the studied poetry question was a bit crap for me! Novel question was great, I was delighted with what came up!

    I don't know, as long as you talked about visual impact and persuasion, you're probably okay. I don't know .. i'm not happy with both papers XD.

    I did like advantage and disadvantage of a traditional poster campaign and and an advantage and disadvantage of guerilla campaigning and i think we had to refer it to the ones we got!

    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

    Thought it was ok, Fiction question on Paper 2 was easy, no real question just write a letter to judges saying why it was good (why it kept u thinking about it and why it was well written) ended up using 2 extra booklets for Paper 2 so 18 pages for that, about 15 for Paper 1. I feel sorry for my examiner :D
