I did 7 and 23. It went fairly well but I could have done better. Will probably get a B. I did AQA too.

I wrote 10 sides. I thought that it went alright.

I did questions: 2, and 25.

About setting and emotions.

i looked at the one with two parts and I had never seen anything like that before. I thought I better not risk it.

I talked about:

Stories: Flight & Superman...

And Poems: Havisham, On My first Sonne, Sonnet 130 and Mother any distance...

i did the aqa lit exam but i found it really hard. i can't remember the no's i did except for 42. the others i did were an inspector calls and poems from other centuries as well as of mice and men.

the questions were well difficult for my texts, but it seems as thought everyone elses was easy!

anyways good luck with the rest of the exams!

Well that exam wasn't good that's all I know I'm not going to define my grade but all I do know is that I con myself by doing little revision the night before and staying up all night. I don't recommend it. I'll pass the English language one but I'm definately not sure about this. Waste of a years work really sad.. I put effort into classwork and some into the coursework and got As Bs and a C.

hey thanks for your post and I'm already sitting in that corner banging my head against the wall, but hey some would call it fun :biggrin:

I'm sure you did fine! I'm going to start doing revision for my other subjects knowing that one of the worst ones is out of the way :smile:

Right guys, don't worry. We all thought it was hard and mucked it up, so the grade boundaries for top grades will become lower. So we still have a chance.

Anyway Fantasy I feel the same.

That English lit was hard. I couldn't even concentrate in the exam as I hadn't any sleep. I told my teacher what I wrote about of mice and men and he said it fine, but I am very worried about the poems. i hope I just pass

I CAN'T BELIEVE YA DID 10 PAGES!! LOL.. Thats amazing to do in one hour 3/4!!
Ye i did the questionw ith two parts, i never saw it either but i didn't like the other questions. Also it divided the 36marks into 2 so not all 26 marks were on just that one question so if i cocked up on one question it wouldn't b AS bad.. no wot i mean??

I agree you can revise them. There aren't even any English Literature revison guides bar the CGP one which is utter crap and is joined with Language. I bought three English revision guides thinking they'd cover Literature too, but they didn't.

History is okay to revise 'cause it asks you in parts unlike fucking Literature. I fucking hate GCSEs and everyone can think again if they believe I'm going to take 4 A-levels. :tongue:
