Easy. Easiest exam I've done. And the prompts were really simple.

I found it quite easy, prompts were simple and straight forward, easier than previous exams for sure, especially the Language Analysis part.

I thought it was a lot easier than i expected. Whose Reality and LA were fairly easily i thought. Prompts on OTW though i thought were a bit unconventional, perhaps even harder than what i expected. Overall though i thought i did pretty well, but i've gotten that from a lot of people so i'm a little concerned it was 'too easy' ;)

what were the OTWF prompts?

OTW prompts were...
i) How does Kazan create tension and suspense in On the Waterfront?
ii) 'It is not only through physical violence that the mob maintains its power' Do you agree?

I think most people chose number 2, but i still thought they were fairly difficult. I wasn't expecting them, but i wrote a fair bit on economic reliability, culture of fear and violence, misplaced loyalties, Friendly's justification and the failure of Terry's triumph for the group.

A 30 is definitely still possible! I've heard of much worse than that, don't stress, as long as what you had written was well thought through and expressed clearly, you'll be fine :)

Absolutely horrible, probably the worst exam I have sat in, I never want to sit in a exam feeling the way I felt

The Cats Eye prompts weren't easy for text response but I think i went okay.
Language analysis was OK, context was great.

but because it was an easy exam, wouldnt it decrease my chances of getting a 30, because a lot of people would have finished?

I think I fell into the trap of picking the short prompt for Cosi. About love and madness. I know a lot about each topic, but I guess I was a little paniced and ended up going around in circlrs a bit. I did inclufe a few points but wasted a paragraph more or less and should have far more in depth. But what can I do now? I just need to smash everything else.
