haha yer I get what you mean with the article. Although it was pretty good to analyse.

I didn't refer to that first image of 2010 ... Forgot about it. Pray they aren't picky with that.

Yer Into Thin Air topics were pretty hard, in reading time I kept thinking okay do 1, no wait 2, no 1, 2, 1, 2,1,2... Eventually decided 1 would be better.

Which did you choose? 

Imaginative Landscape prompt was okay too.

Overall I think I was kinda lucky in a way cos I found the 09 exam WAYYYYY harder.

Hope everyone else aced it, and I'm sure they did.

my AMFAS was slightly dodgy, partly from an inability to decide which topic i wanted to write on... tho eventually picked topic two. the context was fine -- i'd written on it before, so it was almost laughable. the language analysis was a good article to analyse, though there were a few words i had to look up and double check the meaning of.  =.=

all in all, it wasn't bad. and i'm glad it's over. highly doubt im getting 50 haha but i still hope i did okay.

Prompt for Identity and Belonging was good, topics for 1984 weren't too bad. I personally didn't perform well though (should have studied more for English...).
I didn't really like the language analysis, it would have been easier it the audience were specifically teenagers or something, instead of middle class people...
Oh well, I'm sure we all went well though :)

they won't be picky just cos u mentioned reader instead of audience. All they care bout is the impact and analysis
