    Nice prayer for exam time:

    O great St. Joseph of Cupertino,
    Who by your prayers, obtained from God that you should be asked at your examination the only proposition you knew.
    Obtain for me that I may succeed like you in the examination for which I am preparing. I promise, in return, to make you known and cause you to be invoked.

    Best of luck everyone, hope it goes well for you all.

    For paper 1 Question B do you need to refer to the text in your answer? I had a pretty good answer in the mocks but only got 35/50 because apparently I didn't refer to the text. How can you even do that in a diary entry or speech ?

    Thats basically what I have done. I did good vs evil as well, but a lot of it overlaps.

    Single Text- 5 pages - 1 hour
    Comparative- 6/7 pages - 1hr 10mins
    Studied Poetry- 5 pages - 50mins
    Unseen- 1 page - 20 mins
    I normally write a but more for the unseen but then again my writing is quite big.

    Time wise...my english comprehension is killing me...and my intro tends to be 5 lines.
    How would you structure a comprehension. Vocab isn't the issue,it's just avoiding waffle,and getting as much marks as possible in as little time...
    Is 45 out of 50 too much to ask?

    Comprehension:
    Question A: 35-40 mins
    . 15 marks- 3 points- 3/4-1 pg
    . 20 marks- 4 points- 1-1.5 pg
    Question B: 35- 40 mins
    . 5-6 paragraphs- 2.5-3 pages

    Make plans for every question, I plan in getting extra paper immediately to write my plans on so that I don't need to constantly flick back and forth.
    Read every comprehension, have ten mins for that at the beginning.

    Composing- 1hr 20 mins- 5 pages
    Don't for get to write down the question, and title.

    I am genuinely surprised there wasn't one here already, really could be a great outlet for people suffering from depression, social anxiety etc.

    Wrong thread, lad!

    Decided last night that I actually want to do a course that's around 350 points instead of my previous first choice which was 530 and I cannot explain the relief that I feel. Like I wasn't going to get anywhere near my first choice anyway because I haven't studied at all but it just doesn't even matter anymore and I'm quite content. :cool:
