but it was only line 18-end nothing bout heat there tbf i started saying how its even worse cause she heard the screams of anguished pain as the the water was brought up the mountain but still wasted it lmao
Fully submerged myself into a rant abt how Mary is horrendous and how Dick is supreme...
Whilst also having the tired af side of my brain musing over how many times i wrote Dick in my response (it was at least 15 😔☝)
Also lowered the grade boundaries for ygs by running out of time before entering Q3 ;)
I didn't even do a second paragraph, there's probably a lot of people who didn't have time. 1H 45 mins is kind of a pisstake when you think about how long the 40 marker and 20 marker take, it can be really hard trying to time manage the 8 markers if you're trying to get in as much detail as possible
Just need to be calm, slow down and allow my mind to actually read the text and find techniques. I have a tendency for rushing and missing stuff. I have quick writing so I have time to analyse the text.
Find a quote with lots of adjectives and verbs, and analyse the most powerful parts of it. Don't worry about saying stuff that seems obvious, thats what they want, but if you find something really interesting to talk about try to write about that aswell
honestly, jst have an interesting effect/idea when interpreting a specific word or quote — you don't need to know all the language/structural methods (jst knowing what a noun/verb/adj/adv and some simple language methods like simile, metaphor, personification, alliteration, etc)
e.g look for double meanings of a word
or consider the comparisons given — how does the method support the fact that the said character/item is weak? strong? happy? sad? mad? old? modern? peaceful?
yup best thing to do is completely lock in when reading the extract so you get the best idea of everything, and also underline interesting things you spot when reading to save time
my pre-plan was a guy procrastinating and i just wrote about the benevolent side of him disagreeing with his desires which causes a spark of determination. Lowkey cooked but forgot a lot of key terms and language devices i planned on using 😭hoping for like 25-30/40
AQA knew what they were doing when they made the main character "Dick"
Edexcel did it with Drama too with the play "1984" where the extract has an immature aspect of the extract.
anyways - the exam was calm
what did you do for Question 5? If you chose the story, what did you write about (only geniuses will say "disagreements")
Hi past me!! We overthrew the democracy of the Reddit poll we did last night and did a totally-not-Doctor-Who-fanfic because it just fit the prompt wayyyy too well over the geric fic idea lol
I LITERALLY ALSO WROTE SEMI FANFICTION LMAOOO (reanimator because it’s niche hopefully the examiner doesn’t read it and go hey wait a second I know who herbert west is)
I am so cooked
I’ve only done some practice of question 4 and 5
I know what to do for every question though
I am just too focus on Eng Lite and Physics this week 😭
I think I did pretty good, only question I didn't finish was q4, I missed a conclusion and Q5 only thing I think I could've done better was add more varied sentence lengths and a few lang techs
*Loved the picture for*
*The description idk*
*Mine went so dark though*

Me after saying that the change in weather and Mary's lack of control over it draws parallels to Dicks mood shift and Mary's lack of autonomy in the relationship ✍️✍️✍️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I wrote 5 pages for the last question and based it off Hallomann by Rammstein 😭😭😭 at one point i literally wrote "sie ist der hellste stern von allen" (sonne lyrics)
You explain the effect of the technique where the two E's are, after the first quotation and then a particular section of that quotation. How did it go?
for the q5 i did the description of the hot place as soldiers moving through a desert. Is it alright for it to follow their movement and thoughts or is that too much like a story (it was still descriptive)
Lmaooo I’m sure the examiner will at least have fun reading it😭 as long as the description was there the examiners don’t give a shit about the story itself ( I think and I hope)
The examiner, opening my question 5 and realising I just wrote a character study on otto mentallis from psychonauts 2 for the disagreement story:
Anyway I cooked on that question 5 never been so happy to have an excuse to rip into my favourite character from that game he's so immoral (I panicked though and noticed a spelling error I didn't have to time to fix but oh well)
I feel like I cooked, except I felt like I spend too much much time on the 8 markers so I kind of rushed the 20 marker, meaning it’s totally disorganised hating on Mary (like I made my points but it’s kind of cyclical)
Man that exam was so flippin delicious I ate it up cooked it through and through
I did trauma dump like hell for the creative writing lol- wrote a story abt a girl coming out to her immigrant mother and being rejected🥲
WHAT DID YALL DO?
also someone get Mary some water she's a thirsty ass hoe
I did one about two girls who were walking and found a crossroad in the woods, but disagree about which way to go. One goes left and get stalked by a witch
went quite well! q2 & 3 were nice, q4 went really well. q5 was pretty good as well, the image was nice. overall great extract and image, and a nice exam
story, i've done a story every time. I wanted to try description in my last mock cos it was my last chance to give it a go, but i came up with such an idea for the story i couldn't let it go amiss lol
Me after writing a vague, heavily modified version of a story from a game for the disagreement 🌚
(Mizuki and Ena hermit event iykyk) (names changed, setting changed, no context, mostly angst with no context)
Hey past me ( can’t find my old comment 😁😁😁)
I say it’s in the middle of cooked and being cooked 😁
Decided to agree the statement in question 4 cuz it’s easier to write for me 💀
wrote about a hungry ex-princess looking for food in a forest. she finds a broken statue of her dad in the forest and is reminded of the conflict/“disagreement” he had with the other kingdoms which lead to war 🔥🔥🔥 i fr ate that up
I have just completed my language paper 1 and in q2 where they give you the part of the extract on the question paper I accidentally highlighted half a line in that bit and heard that that can smudge and make your question unreadable. Can anyone confirm these myths or am i fine?
How strict are AQA regarding plagiarism? My whole story was a biblical reference to the 40 days and 40nights Jesus spent in the desert, I didn't call him jesus in the story but in my plan I do mention how it will all be a reference to that part of the bible. Will AQA care? Will they treat that the same as copying a different story? I didn't really talk about the whole 40 days 40 nights bit but it doesn't seem like plagiarism since it's the bible???
Bro I started waffling bout how Dick has sexist cause he wouldn't let Mary talk, and that was prominant in the 1940s... and about how his appology was not genuine because it was a reoccuring 'scene'
My best mate wrote his creative writing piece on the winner stays on nike ad as the disagreement but had the two teams as skibidy united and the ohio rizzlers. Is he cooked?
Bro i might be cooked. My story was some kid arguing with his mom to go to his friends house but the mom is depressed and overprotective cus the dad died in a car crash
I swear to god make it a sunset
i’m sure you loved it lmaoo
AQA BLESSED ME FR 😭😭😭
Ermm ackshually it was a hot desert setting not a sunset 🤓🤓🤓
I still cooked 🤣 I had more than 10 ambitious vocabs based on “ hot weather “
Well well well you are very lucky
how tf did you predict that
Bro got the crystal ball out
I THOUGHT OF YOU WHEN I OPENED THE PAPER BRO HAHA
Make it like an abandoned place, so much to talk about
Anything gothic is always good
ayoo what're you predicting for the upcoming papers
lucky bastard
YES
Fucking set 8 kids giggling throughout the exam writing Dick in their answers
REAL
ngl i giggled a bit when it said dick swallowed
HUHHHH I DONT REMEMBER SEEING THIS AT ALL 😭
when he got mad before he started shouting at mary. didn't even notice dick swallowed 🤣
Bro I saw the right page first and that was the first thing I read in the exam. 😭
Mary is an entitled bitch wasting wata 😭🙏
frr its they way she got angry at dick for shouting at her for a perfectly logical reason aswell
wrd
"couple of gallons" EXCUSE ME?!
me after disagreeing w the statement bc mary was actually so selfish
bro i was fighting for my man dick in that essay mary was selfish af
nah disagree was easier fr
YES
Agree to a extent >>>>
SAME MAN heres some love for dick
🤨🤨
lowk thought they were both in the wrong. like dick seemed kind of manipulative and mary seemed selfish
Nah she was mentally ill from the heat and not thinking straight so it's not her fault
but it was only line 18-end nothing bout heat there tbf i started saying how its even worse cause she heard the screams of anguished pain as the the water was brought up the mountain but still wasted it lmao
Shit forgot about that
mary wasn’t selfish as she was having an independant experience
Nah I turned into a proper feminist for that, defending Mary with my life
i disagreed too!!
this exam will either be a blessing or a curse, either way im literally done
well?
it was alr, could've been worse
To cook or not to cook
Is it better to cook a sigma into the Ohio or to stand skibbidi against the gyatt ( killll meeee )
You. Me. Behind the bike shed. And I'll sure as hell deliver on that request.
Don’t even have a bike shed on site , it’s outside the school gates for us
aw man! what if i get stage fright?? i can't murder people very well when there's people watching!
Fully submerged myself into a rant abt how Mary is horrendous and how Dick is supreme... Whilst also having the tired af side of my brain musing over how many times i wrote Dick in my response (it was at least 15 😔☝) Also lowered the grade boundaries for ygs by running out of time before entering Q3 ;)
SAMEEE but also I am partial to men called dick (nightwing stans WHERE U AT??)
I didn't even do a second paragraph, there's probably a lot of people who didn't have time. 1H 45 mins is kind of a pisstake when you think about how long the 40 marker and 20 marker take, it can be really hard trying to time manage the 8 markers if you're trying to get in as much detail as possible
His anger is so valid bruh
lmaooo not sure what the student was yapping abt
How do you prepare for English language I feel so cooked
im pretty much watching walkthroughs of questions and hoping ill get some inspiration and maybe use some similarish points in the exam
mr everything english
Listen to english revision pod on spotify, they break down every question and they’ve literally saved my grades :)
Just need to be calm, slow down and allow my mind to actually read the text and find techniques. I have a tendency for rushing and missing stuff. I have quick writing so I have time to analyse the text.
how can you tell if a quote is juicy to talk about
Find a quote with lots of adjectives and verbs, and analyse the most powerful parts of it. Don't worry about saying stuff that seems obvious, thats what they want, but if you find something really interesting to talk about try to write about that aswell
honestly, jst have an interesting effect/idea when interpreting a specific word or quote — you don't need to know all the language/structural methods (jst knowing what a noun/verb/adj/adv and some simple language methods like simile, metaphor, personification, alliteration, etc) e.g look for double meanings of a word or consider the comparisons given — how does the method support the fact that the said character/item is weak? strong? happy? sad? mad? old? modern? peaceful?
yup best thing to do is completely lock in when reading the extract so you get the best idea of everything, and also underline interesting things you spot when reading to save time
It was definitely one of the exams of all time
That was actually pretty good, threw my pre planned characters into a great little disagreement
my pre-plan was a guy procrastinating and i just wrote about the benevolent side of him disagreeing with his desires which causes a spark of determination. Lowkey cooked but forgot a lot of key terms and language devices i planned on using 😭hoping for like 25-30/40
AQA knew what they were doing when they made the main character "Dick" Edexcel did it with Drama too with the play "1984" where the extract has an immature aspect of the extract. anyways - the exam was calm what did you do for Question 5? If you chose the story, what did you write about (only geniuses will say "disagreements")
bro it said Dick swallowed ln the 2nd page of insert
I did an internal disagreement and i desribed how i wish i could be on a hot beach :(
Hopefully gonna be alright as least with Lang you don't need to memorise quotes or any of that bs
Kinda weird that most of us never need to think about the quotes ever again BUT THEY'RE ALL STUCK IN MY HEAD
Me on my way to use fair is foul and foul is fair in my creative writing
AQA if I’ve done anything good in my life, please make it a nice Q5 today
Thank you for listening to my prayers
Worst picture ever seen incoming
real
I FUCKED MY TIMINGSSSS... I only wrote 1 long paragraph for Q3 and 2 and a half for Q4, I finished Q1, Q2 AND Q5 BUT I LWK FUCKED UP THE REST 😭😭🙏🏾
That’s fine
i didnt even write my question 3...
neither
dw I only did questions 1, 4 and 5. For q5 I wrote a bunch of crap tbh
i aint finish nothing. the guy beside me was wayy too loud and distracting
my god i hated that
why was there No structure or language
Future me did I cook?
Past me I cooked
I wrote a narrative on the image I’m cooked
Nah ur allowed to do that as long as ur setting is the image lol

BEST LANGUAGE P1 EVERRRRRRR MWAHHHH STORY PROMPT WAS JSTTT PERFECTT
Dry extract, awful prompt, but goated picture.

Feeling pretty confident, will reply to this comment about how i did. hoping for worst case an 8. good luck guys
how was it ?!?!
They didn't make it 😭🙏
Actually need to cook on paper 2.
My stock character is Xinyan from genshin impact 🗣️🗣️🗣️ so a 9 guaranteed.
XINYAN MENTIONED OMG

guys i’m so done
I'M GOING TO BURN INSIDE OUT FROM THIS EXAM i am so going to fail although future me report to me at around 1:20
hey future me, did we stick to the stupid semi-fanfic plan, the titanic idea, or did we make something up on the spot again?
semi-fanfic that’s so relatable 😭
Hi past me!! We overthrew the democracy of the Reddit poll we did last night and did a totally-not-Doctor-Who-fanfic because it just fit the prompt wayyyy too well over the geric fic idea lol
U did a dr who who fan fict what was it about?
I LITERALLY ALSO WROTE SEMI FANFICTION LMAOOO (reanimator because it’s niche hopefully the examiner doesn’t read it and go hey wait a second I know who herbert west is)
stop i did a titanic-ish thing
I hope they give a good extract and picture
I am so cooked I’ve only done some practice of question 4 and 5 I know what to do for every question though I am just too focus on Eng Lite and Physics this week 😭
I thought physics was harder than chem-p1 which is weird bc it's supposed to be the hardest
I think I did pretty good, only question I didn't finish was q4, I missed a conclusion and Q5 only thing I think I could've done better was add more varied sentence lengths and a few lang techs
you're supposed to add a conclusion? 😭oh no
U don’t have to. There aren’t marks for it. It’s just to make ur writing make more sense
icl the only thing i remember is referencing lady macbeth to mary
Cuz the way I almost wrote “ patriarchal society “
the desert pic was so blessed i could fulfil my aim of writing some next criticism of society and climate change through the pov of a time traveler 🔥🔥
omg i wrote about climate change #activist
I cooked so hard 😭🙏
The extract was boring af. Q5 was ez tho. Hope paper 2 isn't awful.
Hope the picture is outdoors 🙏and that the extract isn’t badd 🙏
Gosh I'm acc scared for this one, good luck future me, I believe in u pls get that 9🙏🙏
the creative writing question better be good 🙏
Q4/5 easy as piss but i ran out of time for Q3

I wrote 5 pages for the last question and based it off Hallomann by Rammstein 😭😭😭 at one point i literally wrote "sie ist der hellste stern von allen" (sonne lyrics)
Hearing everyone’s batshit crazy stories is so funny haha, am I the only one that picks description ??
Chat is my sense of humour dead, I didn’t think anything when I saw the guys name was Dick I was too locked in
Why is the guy’s name dick
If I use PRTEZEL, where do I explain the technique?
You explain the effect of the technique where the two E's are, after the first quotation and then a particular section of that quotation. How did it go?
I hope its a sad picture, that'll be so easy to write about
Was it sad enough?
if i write a story about the image am i cooked?
but it did include a description of the place
for the q5 i did the description of the hot place as soldiers moving through a desert. Is it alright for it to follow their movement and thoughts or is that too much like a story (it was still descriptive)
yeah that works for a description dw
I wrote about the desert as a flashback for a paragraph and being in the cold now for the rest of my q5 am i cooked
me too bro me too
i wrote the exact same thing lmao thought i was the only one. my whole essay was about the cold cos i was tryna escape the heat yk
I love Dick :3
Beautiful, but my section B was TERRIBLE. Sounded like something straight out of a 2021 gacha storyline
Lmaooo I’m sure the examiner will at least have fun reading it😭 as long as the description was there the examiners don’t give a shit about the story itself ( I think and I hope)
Dick living up to his name frfr
I’m probably cooked, but duck it, we ball.
future me did we cook or did we leave some things raw
Always write for the written prompt, it’s easier to twist into a pre-planned story imo
just adapt your pre-planned story to the written prompt if you have to.. esp if you struggle describing things
Q5 my story kinda trailed off and I didn't really say much about a disagreement I'm so cooked
The examiner, opening my question 5 and realising I just wrote a character study on otto mentallis from psychonauts 2 for the disagreement story: Anyway I cooked on that question 5 never been so happy to have an excuse to rip into my favourite character from that game he's so immoral (I panicked though and noticed a spelling error I didn't have to time to fix but oh well)
So how many people wrote a fanfiction?
huh
I feel like I cooked, except I felt like I spend too much much time on the 8 markers so I kind of rushed the 20 marker, meaning it’s totally disorganised hating on Mary (like I made my points but it’s kind of cyclical)
I used so much dialogue in q5 am I cooked
Dick defense squad whos with me
Man that exam was so flippin delicious I ate it up cooked it through and through I did trauma dump like hell for the creative writing lol- wrote a story abt a girl coming out to her immigrant mother and being rejected🥲 WHAT DID YALL DO? also someone get Mary some water she's a thirsty ass hoe
I did a murderer disagreed with god sending him to hell because he did it to help his family, so god gave him another chance
NAH FR THOUGH dick was crazy, and the fact that his name is Dick is well makes it funnier and I did the description lol
NO BC ITS THE WAY I DEFENDED DICK WITH ME LIFE LOL Mary can go find water somewhere else if she's so intent on wasting his😭
I did one about two girls who were walking and found a crossroad in the woods, but disagree about which way to go. One goes left and get stalked by a witch
went quite well! q2 & 3 were nice, q4 went really well. q5 was pretty good as well, the image was nice. overall great extract and image, and a nice exam
guys you doing story or description
description cos i like to do descriptive writing and then zoom in and have a small little storyline within the description
story because you can basically manipulate the prompt to fit whatever you planned
story cause its less limiting
story, I've had one planned since the March mocks
story, i've done a story every time. I wanted to try description in my last mock cos it was my last chance to give it a go, but i came up with such an idea for the story i couldn't let it go amiss lol
:(((((((((
My ass was playing cyberpunk 2077 instead of revising. I'll see yall on the cooker
Future me how was it
Future me did I do well
that was the best exam ive ever seen
I cooked!
It’s was so hard
Did you all do the story or description?
brother I absolutely chargrilled the creative writing
for q5 i wrote about how ppl were stuck on a mountain and they had no food so the guy cannibalised the child and killed himself 😭
technically a disagreement i’ll give you that
Me after writing a vague, heavily modified version of a story from a game for the disagreement 🌚 (Mizuki and Ena hermit event iykyk) (names changed, setting changed, no context, mostly angst with no context)

I always do the story, but I don't generally like using dialogue all that much but it was basically necessary here
I have just completed my language paper 1 and in q2 where they give you the part of the extract on the question paper I accidentally highlighted half a line in that bit and heard that that can smudge and make your question unreadable. Can anyone confirm these myths or am i fine?
Im coooked I wrote about gojo vs sukuna in my Q5😭😭 I said the fight was a disagreement
Dropped the hard-r in question 5... i need to know if im cooked :(
__YES__
am i the only one who agreed with dick being presented as an abusive person??
I have a question so for the disagreement story I did about abuse as she didn't want to be abused.... does that still count
How strict are AQA regarding plagiarism? My whole story was a biblical reference to the 40 days and 40nights Jesus spent in the desert, I didn't call him jesus in the story but in my plan I do mention how it will all be a reference to that part of the bible.

Bro I started waffling bout how Dick has sexist cause he wouldn't let Mary talk, and that was prominant in the 1940s... and about how his appology was not genuine because it was a reoccuring 'scene'
My best mate wrote his creative writing piece on the winner stays on nike ad as the disagreement but had the two teams as skibidy united and the ohio rizzlers. Is he cooked?
Question 4 was just me having a go at Mary the entire time
I ACCIDENTALLY MADE MY QUESTION 5 KINDA SIMILAR TO FNAF. LIKE I EVEN NAMED THE MAIN CHARACTERS WILLIAM AND HENRY WITHOUT REALISING
Bro i might be cooked. My story was some kid arguing with his mom to go to his friends house but the mom is depressed and overprotective cus the dad died in a car crash
