L.A was a piece of crap.

Yeah I have mixed feelings about it. It wasn't so bad. But it was a little bit fluffy sounding. It would have been nice to have had something more aggresive rather than Harry Potter.

With so many people finding it was "easy", that will in turn actually make it harder to score well though won't it?

It makes it harder to stand out (for the right reasons :) )

Doubt it. They'd be people that felt it was easy, felt it was hard and whatever every year. Besides, just because they found it easy doesn't really imply anything about what they actually wrote.

I don't really see any reason for it to be any different to any other year.

Well said. No use worrying about that sort of stuff now anyway, it's all out of our control now! Time to study for methods!

I think I did alright! I never want to jinx myself but hopefully I can get a 30!
Did 5,5,4.5 pages respectively and finished early but I stayed to read over everything :)
Found the context wonderful! Language analysis was good also! Rushed my text response a bit but I thought it was pretty good :)

So excited it's over!!

Glad to see that most of you found it alright! But on the other hand, that might make it more difficult to get a higher study score since the competition will be even greater.

The twelve angry men prompts were very simplistic. Conflict prompt was good, LA seemed alright but a little boring! Can't wait for results really!
