Anyone know if this is right or was I completely off the wall? Would it matter if you just backed up your opinion? Kinda worried as I want an A1 and only discussed 3 poems (albeit I did in great detail, 6 pages) but I don't want to get my hopes up! :pac: Thanks!

Waiting for summer for Game of Thrones, could never really get into The Wire and Boardwalk Empire! Might check out Sons of Anarchy. Anyone else left LC mode? It's weekend, can't pull myself to study:(

Exams should be unpredictable, they're supposed to be a genuine test of your knowledge of the course. If you only learn half the course because that's what you think will come up, in my opinion you don't really deserve a high grade because you haven't put the work in and ultimately don't have a good knowledge of the course. Honestly, a student who gets an A1 should know 90% of the material on the course. If you've put the work in and know the course to the standard you should, you'll do well. I honestly think it's a good thing that a full knowledge of the course is being valued as opposed to narrow sections of it. I don't know where people are getting the idea that having predicted and studied half the course, they're somehow entitled to an A1 and the SEC are depriving them of it by making use of the full syllabus when making the exams. If you know the material there's nothing the SEC can throw at you that you won't be able to answer, they have to abide by the syllabus.

The vast majority of 3/5 sections comprised of material not in published books, revision books, past papers etc. Half of the Elective question had not been taught to either Geography classes in my school and by the general consensus on boards, hardly any classes at all. When the Teachers don't teach the syllabus but teach 'the exam' it's extremely difficult for students to achieve the high grades and consequently leads to the whole debate re: the predictability of exams.
