    My essay for the pre was "The meaning of Gretenss". Two thirds of my answer was based on history. Its not as if it has to be a historical question, just a question where you can support your points by reference to the past.

    how can you predict what essay you're going to write when you don't know what the topics & essay titles are going to be?

    Did you not get the memo?

    Ha ha nicely done.

    He was on about being able to relate your essay to the question which is not always a easy thing and if your good at english its better to write it ''off the cuff''

    Im going to do my usual satire on a personal essay. Done it all year and got A's mostly. If you're good at satire,the examiners lap it up. Shows interest in the subject,the ability to twist things around and a good use of humour.
