Good luck!

I've done most of that book's short answers..I'll really be focusing on getting coherence/cohesion straight in my head, and CRAMCRAMCRAMMING for the essay :( Haha don't worry most of us are in the same boat...I wrote my first essay in ages today! I nearly always disappoint myself with the essays I write under exam conditions :( I've written many full-markers (or close to) outside a true exam situation in both mainstream and Eng Lang, only to massively screw up the real one that counts the most. Ugh. I'm hoping for a complete fluke tomorrow! And I'm just hoping for 41/42 scaled, no sky-high expectations because I feel so underprepared.

>.< I always get confused with coherence and cohesion. All i want for this subject is a 35. Is that too much to ask?!!! :(:(:(:(
JL_91:
No, never! I'm sure you'd probably exceed your expectations anyway. I doubt it would be as hard to get a 35+, 40+ etc. in a subject like this, as compared to a subject like Methods or Spesh. I think even if you drop no more than 13-15 marks on the exam you'd be in the running for a 40+ provided your SACs were decent.
It has taken me a whole year to half understand coherence and cohesion. I made my tutor give me a crash course on it on Monday, so now I 3/4 understand it...great! >_>

I didn't have the best teacher, and it wasn't until going to the VATE lectures that I actually realised there was a big difference between coherance and cohesion. :|
I'm hoping for early 40's ss as well, I've averaged 95% for the sacs so hopefully the exam doesn't let me down.
ed_saifa:
Does coherence include metaphors, alliteration, puns etc? The solutions to VATE 2007 really confused me. I'd always thought metaphors were under cohesion. =S
