English, eh?
I did the same paper as Shrikar, as we found out.
Area of Study:
Section 1: 12/15
This was a rather interesting mark. We got quite a long and difficult section 1, with 4 texts, and 3 that were a page long. The big question was only a 5-marker, however that was not where I lost my marks. I lost my marks on the 2 easiest questions of the paper - the first 2. I wrote completely shit and unexplained responses for the first 2 questions, and got 4/5 for the final question. I did better than I expected for everything else, seeing as i got full marks for it all except those 3 questions.
Section 2: 13/15
This was also unexpected. Before the exam, I had half a response written, which had been praised heartily by the very teacher who marked it. I managed to extend it and kill off the main character, as one does.
Section 3: 12/15
I was slightly disappointed with this mark, but I probably deserved it. There were a few inconsistencies in my response, and the head teacher marked it, a guy renowned for his insane marking. I probably should have written around 2 more pages than I did - 6 isn't really enough, but still, I did better than a lot of the class.
Total: 37/45.
I got lucky.
Paper 2:
I don't like to make excuses, but this exam was the day after Extension 2 was due and I was literally only kept awake by the 3 cans of V I had before the exam. Add this to the massive caffeine crash I had in the middle of my King Lear essay (the first one I did) and the complete mental blank I experienced during the period from the start of reading time to the end of the exam (co-incidental, yes) and I was pretty happy to scrape 50% from the exam.
Module A - Brave New World/Blade Runner - 12/20
Quite happy with this. Not only did I not study any of my notes for this, I also momentarily forgot how to write the letter J during this section.
Module B - King Lear - 10/20
Um. This was an optimistic representation of what I wrote for this. No textual evidence, just a rant about King Lear's lack of textual integrity.
Module C - Frontline - 10/20
This was probably my only prepared essay out of the 3, and it was only a half essay at that. I thought it wasn't too bad - a bit better than a 10, however it was marked by my Extension teacher and she marks me very hard, for some reason.
Total: 32/60.
Bahahahahahahaha. I deserved this.
