    I did a page for each of the section A questions, 5 pages for the section B and 5 pages for the composition. Ordinary Level.

    Confidence is one the greatest things to bring into an examhall. Overconfidence can destroy you in an exam.

    I wasn't that confident going in, but coming out I was quite proud of it ...

    ... that last sentence did not sound right at all.

    The essays on paper 1 were... awkward. I was delighted with everything else. The comprehensions were grand and Paper 2 was an absolute godsend - Yeats and Dickinson, not to mention the most general Hamlet question I've ever seen in my life.

    But those essays... Oh well, won't worry too much, they seem to depend on the examiner's mood anyway

    I honestly don't remember. All I know is that my paper one was twelve pages long in total.

    I did a short story which i was advised not to do but i didnt like any of the other topics.

    I did 5 pages roughly on one of the pictures. My story though... oh my god...

    I wrote a short story about myself as a lifegaurd and these jetskiers tried to kill me and I got saved by some dude that failed his lifeguard test and I was saying how Ironic it was in the conclusion.
    I think I was falling asleep at the time so it seemed like a good idea. Now looking back on it it seems like a crap idea.
