How were both English Papers. I am hearing mixed opinions, i cbb bothered going back to read other messages though
Advanced-

Paper 1 was weird to me. It was a 3, 4, 5, 3, 5 marker split (like wtf) and I personally did poorly
Common module question was a 3 part and good for those who treated each quality/motivations/action as a different concept in relationship. Needed to have prepared thoroughly/a good understanding of your text to do well

Paper 2 was both good and bad. Depends on the person
Mod A was broad and a nice question for those prepared asking you how ur perception of the later text changed from reading the earlier one
Mod B was about 'artistry' and 'textual integrity' and you needed to address how ur text was that, and its 'literary value'. I didn't like the question but I think it was solid and niche enough that a key differentiator might be whether you knew their definitions, and shaped ur thesis in line to it
Mod C was a 20 mark discursive/persuasive. 2025 will for sure be a split

if you talked about the enduring value of the text over time then that implies it, but you could get a pedantic marker

cant remember lowkey made it up. but i think it was decent
To be honest if you talked a lot about ur text being 'art' or 'a coherent whole of [writing form style etc]' you could probably scrape by. I have a feeling the high range will have lower standards this year so who knows

God, I really messed up. I had practised so much and knew all of this but just panicked for like no reason. I don't think I spoke about the enduring value :cry:

I did speak about the terms of the question, but idk
