Not the only one at all. I was very sad actually!
Exam was okay. Atonement passages were pretty good overall.

Very happy. Hamlet and Stasiland passages were excellent but spent a bit extra time on Hamlet so had to rush the second essay a bit.

I was a little surprised to find both 'Prelude' and 'At the Bay' on the exam, but they were such great passages! <3 Blake was really good as well, really happy overall, but gonna miss lit so much D:

Passages were great and challenging I found.

I THINK I did pretty well.


THAT BOOKLET COVER WAS SO CONFUSING THOUGH!

mansfield ones were crap. as if they put both prelude and at the bay and they're the worst stories. Stasiland was ok, didn't know what to write about the passage about the puzzle piecers. I got horrible writers block for Mansfield because the passages sucked! I'm not sure how I went, i don't think I referenced the name of the story in the passages (for instance in "prelude" blah blah blah) which i think was a bad mistake. I feel as though I didn't do enough language analysis but more text analysis. hmm I'm not sure I always beat myself up after every exam and think of the worst possible outcome.

Sixty Lights passages did not work for me. Stasiland ones provided scope to really discuss the text, and the world Funder presents, in a lot of depth, and welcomed in multiple links to all different parts of the book.

Biggest regret is focusing on Sixty Lights than Hamlet. As much as I love it, the Hamlet passages would have been much easier to write on.

Haha what can I say - I get a little bit melodramatic at exam time :)

It was a good exam, I think. Good passages for Hamlet and perfect poems for Keats.

HOW DO YOU PEOPLE FINISH THE SCRIPT BOOK? (Please tell me you double space before I freak out!)

Hamlet irked me a little, but was still do-able, but Frankenstein was pure bliss, I am so happy with that one. Hopefully I did well enough to get a 35 ss.

Atonement passages were cool although i did an absolutely terrible job. and Two Brothers was average and i wrote an even worse analysis for that.
like half the people in my exam left early.

Did anyone else actually shed tears during the exam, or was that just me? :p

Going a bit too far there...

OMG. Even the supervisors had no idea how to fill it out. I was like 'Study? What's study?'

Blake poems were excellently simple. Loved it.
Emma was pretty good. My thread was the characterisation of Knightley and the perception of gentlemen.
