    how did you all find the paper? i found it really good only problem i ran out of time i missed out on 3 10 markers and the unseen poetry.im really gutted about missing out on these marks as i was banking on a decent enought grade in english.i have a scribe and i feel that where i went down on the time as it took me exta time to think of the right wording to use as i find the words come easier to me when im writing myself.i'm in need of some reassurance if anyone would be kind enough to offer it.the rest of the paper went great and i almost filled the booklet

    Sounds like you did fine - imagine it must be harder to dictate your exam than to write it.

    Was just wondering what came up on the paper - gave a grind to a guy a few weeks ago who was repeating and didn't have all the poetry done but haven't read anything about the paper since....all the fuss over the Higher level Paper 2 has overshadowed the Ord. Level paper. Do you remember what poems came up or what was on for the Comparative?

    Great thanks -poetry looks fine and I had just gone over Bishop with him plus the comparative was what he expected.

    Best of luck with the rest of them!:)
