What the hell? Not even after reading time? I blatantly folded it during reading time and the supervisors didn't care. We got to keep the paper after we're done anyway so why does it matter?
I thought it was pretty good. None of the texts I studied had a specified section (hooray) and my practice essays fitted for the most part. Did 20+ pages with just less than 10 minutes to spare.
I'm chill with most things but pls no specified scene from Hamlet or specified poem from Ted Hughes. Please please please 1 related text or more, 2 related texts, or 2 or more related texts.
The very last exam of the entire exam period :(
It's sad because VA only needs like a day or two study max. They should have put it in the second week and the stuff with more memorising last.
I'm still pretty pleased though since the timetable is much better (for me) than last year's.
Please describe your experience of the process. Was it very strict? Were the invigilators the same ones as the ones you had for trials? How did you feel during your exams? Is it awkward if you have to get up to go to the bathroom?
