    General Thoughts: English Paper 1 (AOS)

    It was tough. I barely had enough time and I'm certain I bombed the blind texts. The essay however was basically EXACTLY what I guessed so I was quite prepared for it!

    AOS blind texts - how many lines for each q?!

    In the AOS, there are usually 2x2mark questions, 2x3mark and 1x5mark. I've been taught to aim for two pages for the 5 mark, but how many lines for everything else?!

    SF: Need Help On Neuromancer.

    I was the same when I read neuromancer, generally I just types into google "essays on neuromancer" or "neuromancer analysis" and it gave me a lot of helpful stuff.

    Frankenstein is only going to be used as a related text in this assessment, not in the exam, so my teacher said that it's fine to use. And thank you!

    Dropping to 10 units
