Is anyone else taking this? or taken it in the past?

How are you/did you deal with the pre-release material?

    How did Friday's one go?!

    Wasn't too bad but could have been better. It's so frustrating when you can't do what you're capable of. The annoying thing out of the 3 extracts for wider reading i only knew 1 of them. I managed to link the other 2 to some wider reading but i didnt really understand either of them very well. :(

    Not quite J... :p

    I saw questions for Winter's tale on my exam.. one was on the theme of friendship and the other was about the relationship between two characters.. they looked ok!

    Obviously, it wasn't the same exam paper though, even though it was AQA..? :p

    English lang sounds really interesting - I would have done it but they don't offer it at my school, just straight lit. My last exam is wednesday - the big synoptic biology module with an essay question. :(

    you'll be ok love :heart:

    language is ok, it's a bit easier than lit i'd say ;) there's a lot of sociology in it. there's lots of grammar and then it's all about language change and a bit of creative writing thrown in there too. i enjoyed the course but it did get a bit tedious after a while.
