Staying up until one will make you tired no matter what. You need to go to bed early. I'm going to bed at 9 every day. It's painful but will be worth it.

that's the plan from now onwards!
What time would you be asleep by then?

little sis...

I can't just 'go to bed' at whatever time.
Yeh sure I can physically 'go to bed' at 9 but won't fall asleep 'til 12

Even then your mind is relaxed and not being stimulated by TV/laptop/phones etc.

Imagery question

Imagery question

That came up last year I think, it would hardly come up twice in a row?

Poliana.xo

kingship, power, macbeth, lady macbeth, appearances, good vs evil, hopefully something along those comes up, if not, well.. :pac:

Hotale.com

A character question's come up every year Macbeth's been on the course, surely we won't be so unlucky to get Banquo or Macdonwald or something? :pac:

Praying for Lady Macbeth!!

Poliana.xo

I don't think Banquo or Madcuff question would be well answered, there just isn't enough to them.. Well I don't think anyway

Poliana.xo

If Dickinson/Larkin, Lady Macbeth and General vision come up, I'll come out of that exam with a big smile on my face :pac:

Is anyone else beginning to get those irrational fears that this years papers are all going to be harder than every other year

Can someone please reassure me that I am not the only person here who has lots of stuff that they don't know yet. I only know 3 poets so far

I've Dickinson and Larkin learned and half of Plath.

3 isn't even that bad really, obviously you'd want 5 but most people I know only have Heaney (idiots :P).

Poliana.xo

For poetry would you refer to things like iambic trimeter or tetrameter? I've put them into my essays before, but effort of actually learning these :pac:

Imagine their shocked faces when they open the paper and Heaney isn't there :cool:

To be honest I'lll be annoyed if Heaney comes up and it's not a crazy hard question, would hate for people who study only one poet to get away with it:rolleyes:

Same.. I have put so much effort into the other poets. It would be so disheartening for someone who only learned Heaney to do better than me.

Ehm... what? :pac:

I really try to stay away from the technicalities of poetry when possible, I just don't like writing about it :P

little sis...

I know Yeats, Heaney and dickinson and my backup is Bishop. IMAGINE IF NONE OF THEM COME UP :eek:

The only reason I'm contemplating looking over a fifth is just be to less nervous on the day but other than that there's really no reason. I don't think I'll bother tbh
