What did you get?

Well the exam is in a month, so I don't know :P

What exam board were you with?

I think our exams may be similar. How were your questions split up? Like we have one for 40 marks and the other is 20.

Ah right, pretty similar then.

My teachers aren't exactly of great help *sigh*. So far part A do you look at word class then like purpose, audience, format etc?

Yeah that is what I had to do - sadly I messed up and went mad on mode characteristics :( Last years paper was about gap years - which was fine for me, but most people said was incredibly boring. Guess as I am going on a gap year, it was somewhat interesting!

Haha!

If I could ask, how many pages did you do? And like did you focus a LOT on like word class to answer the question?

I chose Chemistry, Biology, Physics and extended maths. Dropped out after a few months, had a year off. Went back for two years doing chemistry, Biology, history and Government and politics. I'm now in University not far off completing a degree in Chemistry, no idea what I want to do after the degree? :P
