    We left out LG - yeah its probably gonna come up, but apparently its a load of waffle and our T&I and GV+V are pretty much the exact same with even more to write for GV+V, which is also meant to come up, so I dont mind :)

    I'm just trying to get a rough % of the amount of people going for each option, purely for the purpose of satisfying my need to know useless knowledge! :P

    Doing literary genre and theme/issue just because I'm too lazy to write a general vision and viewpoint essay.

    Voted! Doing theme or issue and general vision and view point. Just need to finish my notes on the theme. :)

    Does anyone here prepare key moments answers as well as general ones or is there any need?

    Literary Genre and Theme Or Issue. Wish we did GV&V tbh, Literary Genre is so boring to write about.

    They can ask it like that which is reeeeally annoying, so I did an answer on it but got like a C because I couldnt think of enough. They generally seem to keep to the broadest possible "how did you come to understand it?" but you cant be sure I guess :/

    I think you could just talk about the theme and how it affects you - what we did as Theme was growing up in the third world and how its bleak, so our GV+V is how this bleakness affects the reader :)

    We did key moments and the general answers last year, but only general questions came up. They'd hardly only ask key moments though, would they?

    I think our teacher last year told us to just focus on our favourite, so I just went for the general ones.

    Good point, but I tend to steer clear of the 70 mark ones tbh :P 30/40 is just so much better :D

    Whaaat?! Those ones are really hard! I end up writing way more for them but actually say less when I answer them. I always try to avoid them!

    They're so handy! You dont have to make any comparisons in the a part, and you can leave your best ones til the b part and then because you already have 30m you dont need to write as much :D

    Well my teacher is giving us notes on all 3 but I'm only studying for the Theme/Issue and General Vision I don't like Literary Genre it seems more complicated and not as easy to remember.

    I'm just learning points from the notes my teachers given.
    I might try and do a chart to compare/contrast them and be able to look at it quickly
    I'm learning verbs for each contrast and compare so I don't use the same words all the time.
