Paper 2 was just perfect. I didn't do A quality but a high C or B is in store for me hopefully.

ONLY studied dickinson beforehand, and BOOM! She came up, worked backwards on paper 2, seen poetry, then unseen, comparative then hamlet. All worked out well, let myself down on hamlet but overall im pretty happy with how I did.

Paper 1 was ... well, paper 1. I did text 2 section A, text 3 section B and i did essay 7 (a) and used picture 3.

Overall today wasnt bad.

I almost wet myself when I saw Dickinson and Boland. Getting that got me off to a great start, did a good essay on Dickinson, Hamlet was great (did the 1st Q on the appeal of Hamlet to a 21st Century audience...best question I could get, I used every quote I knew) and my Compariitive was at least good enough to get half marks for it.

Paper 1 was alright, I'm not to sure about the length of some of my answers. I did the Diary one for Q B, and was only doing around a page per diary entry (I couldn't figure out how to do any more! I was pulling everything out of the texts, there just didn't seem to be enough for me) but my A Q was fine (did the Celebrity lifestyles one)
And I went off on a rant about Iraq for the personnal essay.

So yeah, good paper. Reckon a C1 at worst, which is alright. Let's hope the rest are like that.

Still half an hour left to go on paper 2. I'd hate to be back in there now. I left an hour early. Got to do maths now!

I think I got around a B2 for Paper 1.

For Paper 2, I left about 40 minutes early, and yet I think I got an A1!!!!!

Binomate

The exam was simple. For some reason a soon as I entered th exam hall I needed to take a leak! That motivated me to write fast. I was dying for a p1ss the whole way through both exams! I'll no longer be drinking water in between the exams.


Thank christ I'll never have to write about hamlet ever again!

Just back after doing both papers

My essay was great 6.5 pages i discuss it here

I did q. a on sect 1 wrote over a page for each question handy enough hard to do 20marks worth for last q. though i discussed violent imager/ appeal to sense of taste /smell

For sect b. I did the ist photo
discusses
shows emotion/love
horrific nature of war as they are split up
the humanness of soldiers (is that a word?)
and how it poses the question, how can we let this happen.

Paper 2. was lovely

Loved the 1.st lit genre question kept being like It is important to consider..
I will be discussing..
etc.
5 pages

hamlet I did q on weaknesses loved it but may not have discussed his strengths enough
6.5 pages

Emily Dickinson - great that she came up but had to discuss a lot due to q. my impact
language
imagery
her personality
5.5 pages

The unseen was terrific the healing power/ inspiraton falling from the moon in the form of moon rain! 2 pages

It certainly is.

But when posting sarky remarks about other people's grammar it's always worth giving a second glance before committing. It saves you from looking silly y'know?

I'm dissapointed with how I did. I didn't even finish paper 2.

Ach. It was ok, my essay, comparitive and SST answers were reall good, my poetry has let me down big time, the rest...well...meh. Should be good enough to get over 75.

MACCER

Congrats to all you people happy with the paper, but wasnt there anyone else relying on Wordsworth coming up? Couldnt believe it when i saw 2 women poets on the paper, what the hell is this an equal society or what? :eek:

JackKelly

was really happy with that paper. All in all, it was good.

Hamlet question (1st one) at first was a bit of a wtf, but than i realised i could say anything at all and it would be grand. Hamlets character was also a grand one id imagine.

The department were pretty sound putting, Dickinson Yeats and Boland on. No suprises thank god. Did yeats myself.

General Vision and Viewpoint was grand. All preprepared so was grand.

Paper one was also ok. Did ques A on the Butcher one, and B on the letter to the photgraphy magazine. Essay was on the obsession of people with celebrity.

Was pretty damn happy all in all. Worst over with now. The first was always going to be hardest!

Con9903

How long did you spend writing your essays. I wrote my essay in an hour. It was 6 pages. Paper two was grand too.

zAbbo

Heard that one of the titles on the JC paper was 'Travelling on a School Bus'

BraveheartGal

it was
ok granted it might have upset those kids in navan and my heart goes out to them
but i reckon its jus the parents council kickin up a fuss like they always do
i really do sympathise with the kids and my heart goes out to them but isnt it blown outta proportion?
