How did it go?

[Hooligan]

[Amnesiac]

Can't believe they are in there now, and i also can't believe how slow time goes on the outside. I've been studying for my International Studies exam since 10, and it is only 12 now. They've done an extra hour and i feel like death already. Haha

I was really happy with it, I felt like my preparation was definitely adequate.

I nearly got killed on the way home by an oncoming car but the exam definitely makes up for that.

[m-town]

Think that went ok.

who else did AMFAS?  the prompts weren't as straight-forward as I was expecting.



btw, thanks costargh for putting up your amfas study notes. Been a real help.

[Fyrefly]

I did AMFAS... Yeah same about the topics... i was like dam. And i wasn't sure which to do. I LOVED the Whose Reality Prompt and i usually hate them. I did loads better than my stupid practice exam i think. lol

I did amfas too, the first question. 'More says: "I do none harm, I say non harm, I think none hard". More's decision to place his prcinciples about his family is difficult for a modern audience to understand' Do you agree?

I basically said the decision is difficult to understand in terms of the fact that
a) he could have furthered his own agenda by staying as Chancellor and doing what he could form there.
b) he could have stayed alive like the common man who is indifferent to the politics

but
c) that his decision is nonetheless admirable as he becomes a symbol for resistance against tyranny etc despite the ineffectual nature of his stance.

I found the context for identity and belonging the easiest

All of this week and last week while I was studying for English (in the lake) I kept hearing a small voice in my head, 'Study Look Both Ways! Do it!' But I always thought 'NO WAY I hate that film with a passion.'

Then in the exam...the question for look both ways was one I had done before...and the questions for in the lake were ones that I had seen but never really attempted to write or plan.

*sigh...probably the most mediocre text response I have written.

Ah well, just have to listen to intuition next time. No wait, there is no next time...
