What do I need to know layout wise for p1?

Letter -
.........................................................name,
.........................................................address
..........................................................date
receiver
address

dear..
yours sincerely/faithfully

Anything else? Is a diary just 'dear diary, ..... ' ??

And speech anything in particular? Just address your audience at the start?

That it?

Letter to the editor, informal letter, report

Informal letter - you just put the recipients address in top right, use 'Dear..' And say something like 'with love' at the end, use informal language

Letter to the editor - at the top just have the name of the article you're responding to and the date and author of it, or if it's just general then have a topic sentence, begin the letter with 'Sir -' and continue writing after the dash, finish off with 'Yours etc.' and then put your name and address underneath

Report headings are: introduction (brief title), terms of reference (who commissioned it and what for), research methods (what you did to gather info), findings (make up statistics and facts), conclusion (expand on the findings and draw conclusions from them), recommendations (what to do to solve the problem etc.)
Then sign off with your name and date

Do yous not have your exam numbers stuck to the desk? We have it up in the corner of the desk. They'll all be set out tomorrow in order of exam number. Bad thing is that if you don't get a good seat then your fúcked.

Would the seating be roughly the same as the mock if its in the same room? I had a good spot for the mock. Nowhere near the fans blowing hot air!

The fans! I remember them from JC mocks! They got proper heaters after that though, thankfully.

We do mocks in the gym and the real exams in class.

May your comprehensions be a breeze,
No question of their meaning,
Your Question B's flow with ease,
Not cruel or demeaning,
Your composition an orgasmic sneeze,
To leave the examiner leaning.

Any books, notes, computers, phones, mp3 players etc have to be outside the exam centre. They go through the rules usually before the paper is given out.
