Did pretty well, though creative writing fucked me over hard.
Mark: 102/105

Paper 1 = 42/45
Section 1 (Reading) = 15/15
Section 2 (Creative) = 12/15
Section 3 (Essay) = 15/15

Paper 2 = 60/60
Module A (Frankenblade) = 20/20
Module B (Hamlet) = 20/20
Module C (Fiftieth Gate) = 20/20

NB: I think my school had a combination of the Independent Paper + CSSA Paper.

wow i only got 77/105
Reading: 11/15
Creative: 13/15
Essay: 10/15

Blade Runner: 16/20
Hamlet: 13/20
Ted Hughes: 14/20 but miss said I could have got 2 extra marks if I had talked about 2 poems not just one - they never told us that, so many people lost marks for that

I'm pretty happy with that since I'll probably still be in top 20 and atar aim is around 87

If you're aiming for 87, and you got 77/105, you're in extremely good hands. a 77/105 gets you about a 88-89 in English, and it's quite possible to get 95+ if your other subjects are of a similar standard.

Case in point: me. I got 83/105 for my English trials, but I ended up with 93 for my internal mark for English Advanced.

AOS: 14/15

English Paper 2:
