    It may be just me, but I think as long as you're a bit creative, and have some hobbies, you'll always find a nice topic.

    Too bad the choice where you write a modern version of some old fairy take didn't come up. It was soo funny when i practiced it :D .

    I did mine on the one where you had to write it beginning with, "I knew this day would take some courage to get through" or something along those lines. Started to panic about time so I wrote only about 3 pages. Read over it though and it all seems well written with a nice high tension point so I should be all good. :D

    Mine was all about the first day being back in school after being through some tough times during the summer holidays. I felt really alone in a crowded place (being a school) and had trust issues blah blah blah. It was a load of sh1te tbh. :p

    half a page for 5 marks...ridiculous I know but it helped a little

    Ridiculous indeed. That's pure spoof anyway. You're not expected to write too much for the functional writing - you get marked for being concise and to the point.

    Am I the only one to write about Haiti? Well, anyway.

    It had to be in the last twelve months. You won't lose many marks for that. I doubt it's really important.

    Am I the only one that finished really early? For Paper 1 I finished a half hour early and and hour early on PP 2. I waited till the end tho, just in case . I was getting a bit nervous that everybody in my class said they were stuck for time cuz I was like wtf you serious?:rolleyes: . My hand is flipping aching now lol. I did a booklet for each PP too:pac:

    I'm not trying to be a ****** or anything, but how in the world were you able to do every question properly and be finished after ninety minutes?

    Oh crap.
    Am I the only one here who did question 2 for media studies?:(

    I'd say question one was definitely more popular by a long-shot. Libraries are boring! :pac:

    Desire, i went through it quite swiftly too, just in case I run out of time, but then I revisited it, looked over, added some points.

    Also I don't know if you're the man, but in P1 reading I said that that lady has "Desire to Inspire" Look at that nice phrase that came from boards!:pac:

    Desire-to-Aspire, that was me! :pac:

    I understand that you can go through the paper quickly, but finishing in ninety minutes means that you completed each section in fifteen minutes. I don't see how it is possible to do that and answer everything properly.

    The Other Drama was about a girl (who half the country thought was a man :pac:) trying to direct a play. It was simple!

    Oh I did the Shakespearen one. The one about the guy directing a play. And there was a character called Nick Bottom in it. SO I guess I did the Shakespearen one :) I was in the minority then!

    No, I mean for P1 I had the 3 "easy" sections done in 70 minutes, leaving me with plenty of time for essay, and as I had that pretty much in my head I finished quickly, so I went back correcting mistakes and If you wish showing of my knowledge:o by fancy quotes et cetera.

    And P2 suited me perfectly - it all just strolled along. I had about 45 minutes to do the unseen poetry, so I squeezed everything I could out of it. man it was though:rolleyes:.

    I didn't really rush, as I say, I'm happy with it :) .

    Oh, English is the subject I mainly care about, and after doing out the whole past papers I was getting all As so you know, good prep worrk ;D .

    Oh dear, I may have said quite a bit more than was necessary and maybe a little too informal in my letter. Like, my opening paragraph should have just died, I don't know what I was thinking...ughhhh.
