The essay question was a god send, hopefully they are just as generous in paper 2

The exam was sooo easy. Section 3 was the easiest. I moulded my memorised essay with the question real nicely. Section 1's Text 3 picture was something I felt like I should use in my answers but didn't. Not sure if I really regret that minor decision. It was just a photo of a soccer goal or something.
yeah totally!! as we left my friend brought that up and i thought that maybe they wouldnt put a photo in unless they wanted some sort of reference?? maybe a answer that was a amalgamation of literary and visual techniques?? god knows

Yeah except I'm not entirely sure if the picture amounted to anything with regards to the question. What was the question again? Something like how did the language convey discovery? Once I read over the question I kinda thought maybe the picture is a distraction from the question asking for the language used.
something about language showing speculation or something like that?? yeah youre right but maybe it can be viewed in the context of visual language too.

YE THE CREATIVE AND ESSAY were ON POINT, WONDERFUL. dat short answer section tho was toxic aids. I had a convluted mess of a mini intro, only had like 3 techniques from 2 texts, and another convulted puke of a mini conclusion. i rate 8-10/15.

The only technique I used for that stupid Mango question was something dumb like 'truncated sentences'. I actually regret that decision now.
Truncated sentences is good I always use it

Also I was dodgy with the 6 marker didn't know how to say it well since the texts were weird so I wrote 3 pages for it LOL let's hope the technique dump works
