They don't mark like that. Marking is a synthesis of all the elements of your essay. In reality it's probably one or two /15 but it really depends on the rest of your essay, what level you're writing at, etc.

we had one that was attractive to an extent

 

[britaker]

Was a little thrown off by

1) lack of explicitly mentioning the word "belonging"
2) all the short responses being 3 marks
3) the essay question in general

But I think it went alright, hope I wrote enough

[Katsumi]

Time to start roting my Standard essays~

 

[_s2]

how do you think the marks will be allocated for the 6 marker? and if you wrote two texts do they just take the better one? (urgh so frustrated i actually saw it only wanted one text but in the stress of the exam completely misread it the second time )

 

[enigma_1]

Hahahah we had a young guy lel and girls went cray cray.
But all our others were bitchy old men and women who looked lyk someone drained all the happiness out of them like dementors haha.

Speaking of which, I wonder how HPF went Probs aced it!!

 

[photastic]

If the difficulty of this exam reflects the difficulty of tomorrow, I will respect english I think

 

[ushnakhalid]

lol just realised i read the question wrong and analysed two texts for 6 marker instead of one......wonderful. but i did both in depth so hopefully 4 marks

She was like a 7/10 atleast if not 7.5.

But I did say extent don't forget.

4 marks for the analysis
2 for structure

I'm guessing that

I'm keen to know the mark allocation too.

I wrote about 4 points, with an intro and a conc (only one body tho). ~2 pages

I know the one you mean, meh

The examiners were not the type of people I expected tho, the one i talked to to go to toilet was super nice.

I was expecting older, retired teachers.
