We're not, he's a year younger... but I doubt much will change in that year to be honest (other than his voice and fur where there was no fur before)

I can't believe all you lot are at the same level as rovers5fan.

Heh. Probably a different exam board, but that sounds on the same par of easiness as ours. We got given a comprehension question for christsake!

How is the Literature course MJ? I'm thinking of taking it next year.

Yeah but if it's unseen text then they can't throw anything too challenging at you, which must be a good thing.

Wasn't too hard I don't think but I don't really remember it. All I can remember is some sentence and the last word was DNA which you had to write in... :S

Yup, A2 English Literature. I dont know what exam you were sitting in with but I most definately won't be getting a break on Wednesday which will probably be the worst thing about it. Working for an hour and a quarter on one exam question is fine - it will be two extracts which I'll have to compare in some way, however it's finding the will to throw that question to the side and then start work on the hour and three quarters question which will be painful. If I did have a break I'd probably not be so bothered, little bit of time to rest my arm and get some air, but no - evil people keep my locked up.

The fact that the exam is on unseen texts is something which I can't decide if it's a good thing or not. In a way it's a godsend as I'm currently in the middle of finishing a load of overdue AS Photography coursework which is making me neglect every other subject, but in a way it's a worry due to the fact that the texts can't really be prepared for. Thankfully we've done a lot of preparation work for the exam, I just need to get back into writing as I haven't written an essay in a few weeks so I'm going to be rusty.

I wish I could do Double, it sounds easy.

How'd do find the Biology paper?
