Yeah, it was good. easy texts to read through and find stuff in, which was handy. not too much reading or anything, plus they were interesting

I think question 1 was filth- the Board of Studies always has some magical way of pulling the most random texts out of their asses!

The book was pretty damn interesting, I'm actually looking to read it. I thought I did ok, good balance of textual and visual features. Overall I think maybe 12-13/15.

Smallness of the room, ect ect. Well I wrote about that.. yay!

I thought most of the questions were quite fine. I loved section 2 and 3 I wrote 1100+ words on each. I think I answered the questions quite thoroughly.

Ten more minutes would have been handy though. I'm pretty sure we got ripped by five because I was going off my watch and I still had 5 left when they said pens down.

We started at 9.25 and finished at 11.30 according to their clock. Oh well. 12.5% of my time was stolen

I wrote that his problem was that there was no other choice but to walk onto the vessel... since he made mention that there was no space to the sides or something, and he had to walk forward.

Question 1 wasn't too bad at all really. The texts weren't too difficult, easy to get some techniques from the visual which is usually the hardest one, so it went pretty good for me. Probably did spend to much time on a to d though in reflection, but it shouldn't matter that much really.

Writing as fast as I could NON STOP. Don't worry I have a blister on my finger for my hard work. I'll have to get a softer grip pen and put a bandaid over it for my next exam.

I made some thing up about the art taking up the entire room and being intimidating, then I mentioned that as a result it reflected the first step being the hardest.

I spent too much time on part ( F ), about 20mins. For some reason time seemed to go extremely fast through that exam, well for me anyway.

I just said it was claustrophobic because of the small size of the room.

Any thoughts on its difficult compared with the 2004 paper? Imo, our Section I was around the same, Section II possibly slightly easier and Section III slightly more difficult. Reflecting on our own understanding of the world etc. is more difficult than "The journey, not the arrival, matters" imo.

I think I wen't alright... I'm just worried about that 5 mark question, I don't think I did it justice. Section 1 was the one I was dreading the most, i'm so glad its over
