I found the exam quite hard. In the order I completed things: S1 (one question, then stumped), S2, S1, S3. My creative slotted in almost perfectly with the stimulus but I didn't see that I had to use it as the 'key location'. I wrote down the stimulus I wanted to use but then decided to change my mind after but I didn't change what I wrote so... hopefully the marker won't keep referring back to that stimulus (?) I used it metaphorically instead... so... This section 1 was definitely the most difficult section 1 I've encountered in the last 2 years! I found it was struggle to locate the specific techniques they wanted in the contrast question!!! For the essay, I managed to smash it out in the last 15 minutes (my time management stuffed up because I was so darn stumped from section 1). I'm only disappointed in my seat since I was to the very left and right at the front and couldn't see the clock properly, and there was a really cold draft that made me snap out of concentration a lot. My other disappointment is my crappy conclusion. But I'm just going to focus on the paper 2 now.

I do think you will get some marks, not sure of the process here, but don't let it stress you out! Done now, pretend it never happened! ;D
