Though I'd start a new thread since Texts & Traditions is a pretty quite place :P
So how'd you all go? How did you find the exam?

Wow I got 45 too! Haha weird right? Yeah, I thought I screwed up my exam and was just hoping for a 40 - massive shock. What gospel? :)

Focus on the theme topics and have a read of the tafsir, then incorporate them in your essays and exegesis.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me -- and there was no one left to speak for me.

^ No it doesn't, TT essays are different then english and you write them out differently, you can use the english structure, but it's not necessary and you won't be getting extra points ( chief examiner said this).

One thing TT examiners don't like is 'general sentences/topic sentences', all they want you to do is get to the point, and answer the question.

In your essay you can use dot points, sub titles, whatever you believe can convey what you need to say. All these forms are acceptable and if you want to confirm this, just read past Assessment reports, or later on this year you can attend an info night where you meet the chief examiner and he tells you what's required.
