Do you lose marks in Junior Cert. English if your essay doesn't match the title?

    I did my essay about a journey I took and the title was "My life changed in 90 minutes". I thought it was kind of implied that the journey took 90 minutes so I didn't write that down, but when I told my friend she thought that the corrector won't understand that and that it makes no sense.

    I think its a pretty good essay and I'd say I'll get a lot of marks for it, but if the corrector doesn't think the story matches the title, will I lose marks?

    Thanks!

    You'll lose some I think for not matching the title but it's not many. For the LC out of 100 I think 5 are for matching into the title of the essay so even if it doesn't match there's still more than enough on offer for an A

    Depends on your marker, I'd still say they'd give you the majority of marks though!
