THANK GOD KEATS CAME UP! And god, that question on the supernatural forces in Macbeth was lovely! And oh yes, I managed through cultural context fine. Note if these questions didn't come up I'm screwed.

Prepared for Macbeth or Comparative. Studied a bit for theme/issue last and could throw together a cultural context question if need be

I can't believe Larkin, Montague, Rich and Keats came up!! I'm so mad.

However, this is what will come up according to my uncle who MADE the paper!:

Keats, Bishop, Longley, Walcott

Cultural Context/ V+V

Evil theme.

Enjoy guys hahaha

Thought the new paper was grand, nothing groundbreaking in it.

Good question. Well Bishop came up, I did that, ignored the rest. Theme or Issue came up, can't remember what the other one was.
For Macbeth I did a question on how it has all the ingredients of a compelling drama or something.

I wrote about 8 pages.

Also I don't remember everything that came up, I was more focussed on doing the questions that I was doing than memorising the questions that I didn't do.

No offense man, but going on my experience of myself and friends doing the LC you probably would have doubled your score by staying till the end. If you can't remember a question you saw an hour earlier, even some key words form it, then I would guess your memory isn't great and the extra time would have helped you fill out your answers.

Fairly happy with that.
Macbeth Q1 was nice.It was on the horrible consequences of Macbeth killing Duncan.

Comparative: Theme and Cultural context came up.Did the CC question,thought it was grand as long as you kept refering to conflict.

Poetry: Unseen,well I have never really liked this question.Poem was ok wouldn't say I did brilliant.

Bishop,Keats,Walcott and Montague came up.I did Montague.Thought the question was ok,a bit annoyingly phrased.I was stuck for time at the stage and so tired ,I think it may have affected my answer a bit.

Easiest paper imaginable - the second Macbeth question was literally

Macbeth is a compelling drama, why? Explain your opinion mentioning at least one "ingredient" that makes it a compelling drama.

You could have talked about ANYTHING

Just like I said - lunatics on the radio, bet they fail it anyway the tossers

Way easier than the last paper unless you only studied Longley. Montague, Walcott, Bishop and Keats. Macbeth was simple - compelling drama, you can talk about anything there tbh. And theme or issue, cultural context.

Looks like my uncle was wrong (I was joking btw lol):pac:
