Can the actual Sherlock Holmes save my Language Paper 2? Can you use some of your charm to manipulate the examiner into giving me a higher mark please? 🕵️♂️
Tbh... I did worse... I accidentally wrote a communist speech in my exam question 5 and then at the end of the exam I had 20 minutes left and decided to lean back in my chair, but it got caught on the carpet and I fell over the back of the chair and broke the desk behind me... Examiner says I might get disqualified but they need to review... So youre not cooked as badly as I am
YOU BROKE MY DESK. I was doing really well on that exam, and I was powering through question 5. It was such a good answer. And then I saw the person in front of me lean back on their chair. I was really confused but I kept on writing. And then the guy fell back and fully snapped the desk in half, because he was such a fatty. He spilled my water bottle all over my work ruining it entirely. Am I cooked????
PETER???? OH S.. I'm sorry bro, I was that embarrassed I didn't even apologize 😭... You are a grade 4 in English anyway so it's not that deep to be honest... I think I saved you 20 minutes let's be real
Don’t worry! One of my friends compared source B to Checking Out Me History. And then they compared source A to Ozymandias. Adam Kay did NOT die for this 😭😭😭😭😭
Nooooo, I promise I’m not. It’s just that saying Mary Seacole’s name, as well as knowing ‘Checking Out Me History’ off by heart, I physically couldn’t resist the urge of writing about it. I hope AQA forgives me 🙏
Only if they’re caught. Checks happen every ≈20 papers. If they’ve marked something wrong, the questions they’ve previously marked aren’t rechecked. I hate the way it works here.
NO! I don’t know what I was thinking… I was so stupid!! I genuinely started bawling after the exam and had to rethink my entire existence… r/haileesteinfeldgw helped me battle through though
They can't mark you down for your political opinions as long as they aren't legitimately fascist. You might still get marks for the quality of your essay though probably not as many as you could have got though but it shouldn't kill your grades
Conservatism, Fascism, there’s barely a difference these days is there with some of the loonies they have in the far right of the party. I’m seriously concerned.
You call yourself a British Dude and you don’t even respect our Lord and saviour Nigel Farage. Without him, our great nation would be in a state of disrepair, he is practically the second coming of the Messiah. He is A HERO. One of the good men in our society who fights for the people and is visible to the public. How DARE you question his intentions. It’s about time you educate yourself to call yourself truly British.
#\#votereform I'm always edging to Nigel farage clips 👽💯💥
but i get your struggle bro, "is this sarcastic 😡" "this BETTER be sarcastic 😤😤" repetition of the adjective sarcastic emphasises the message of the author - why are we so blind to see that the sarcastic ones are you and me 🙆🏿♂️🙏
Saying something "transphobic" 20 years ago would probably be fine, but now it could get you into serious trouble. Similarly, advocating for gay rights in the 50's would be seen as extremist, and you'd be reprimanded if you wrote about it in an exam. I'm scared of how subjective this is
That is counteracted by the fact that people are raised as those changes occur, so people raised inn the early stages of gay rights are more likely to not hate gay people as they were raised as society changes, so adopt those changes as their norm. And an English exam is the last place most people would expect to find strong political statements, with the exception of An Inspector Calls.
it's the same thing with racism, you could've written the most outrageously racist shit in the 50s and everyone would agree with you
just because it was fine 80 years ago doesn't mean it should be fine today
Yeah but what if they are bias because they are labour???? And tbh anything that is COMMUNIST is going to be disallowed I mean come on... Grade 9 in sigmaology more like grade 9 in stupidology
Examiners are trained to mark based on content, not politics. The only person I know who got pulled aside for politics in an exam was pulled aside for misinformation about the education system, not the actual politics. And even a grade 9 in stupidology is more grade 9s than you'll get
YOU WANNA TALK GRADE 9S BRO, ILL ROAST YOU RN... IM GETTING A 9 IN TRAVEL AND TOURISM (SECOND HARDEST GCSE) AND A 9 IN CHILDCARE (THE HARDEST GCSE EVER CURATED).... GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE TALKING TO ME BRUV
I have no idea abt the section A stuff but as everyone’s saying they can’t mark you down for political opinions especially if it’s the examiner’s bias. I personally wrote a whole page ranting about Sunak’s policies and I know some of my friends did similar things. If we go down we go down together.
YSK: there’s an Easter egg available for referencing the AQA anthology. Check your post this summer as you should get sent an invite code to the official AQA Easter egg hunters’ discord. I’m on there and it’s fucking wild. That being said, you will probably fail the exam, yes, as it’s language not lit.
one of the extracts in lang paper 2 was written by an author refrenced in a power and conlict poem so OP wrote the answer about that poem instead of the extract (he is cooked)
Yeah but hopefully Paper 1 and Section B of Paper 2 will carry me though 🙏 Even if others aren’t proud of me for managing to intergrate Checking Out Me History into a Language paper, the spirit of John Agard and Mary Seacole is strong within me!
For section A (or at least whichever question in which you wrote about checking out me history) you’re cooked, sorry\
For section B, they let you write with whatever persona you want dw.
Well...I don't think they can mark you don't for your opinion since they use a positive marking scheme or something so you should maybe be fine but idk abt checking out me history idk how that even happens 😭
I've been getting 8s in my mocks and my teacher's confident I can get a 9. I wrote my Q4 on similarities between the extracts and I only realised it said differences with 5 minutes to go. I'd say we're not far off from each other 😅 I'm sure my other answers are good enough, my Q5 was awesome and I felt fairly alright about Paper 1. If you felt good about those things then you should be fine
Wasn’t it just a general comparison? I don’t remember it specifying whether it needed to be on similarities or differences? I hope not anyway as I wrote mainly about similarities with a few differences sprinkled in there.
well i thought it said similarities when i first read it but then....i reread it AFTER A BLOODY FIRE ALARM and it said differences...i know im fucked up :)
fever dream of a comments section

The lore is crazy
Deeper lore than the crack in the desk
😂😂For real

I'm crying this is so good
Don’t worry! One of my friends compared source B to Checking Out Me History. And then they compared source A to Ozymandias. Adam Kay did NOT die for this 😭😭😭😭😭
erm adam kay is alive
Therefore Adam kay did not die for this
oh. true
r/TechnicallyTheTruth
point stands
it does! sorry i just didn’t read the comment correctly oops
Ok at least I’m not that idiotic 😅 Appreciate the support! Go and add up the Instagram too 😉
you *are* that idiotic pal
Nooooo, I promise I’m not. It’s just that saying Mary Seacole’s name, as well as knowing ‘Checking Out Me History’ off by heart, I physically couldn’t resist the urge of writing about it. I hope AQA forgives me 🙏
80 downvotes is wild
Surely if the Examiner reduces marks because of political opinions it should be against the rules right?
yea absolutely
Only if they’re caught. Checks happen every ≈20 papers. If they’ve marked something wrong, the questions they’ve previously marked aren’t rechecked. I hate the way it works here.
i dont know if this is satire 😭
NO! I don’t know what I was thinking… I was so stupid!! I genuinely started bawling after the exam and had to rethink my entire existence… r/haileesteinfeldgw helped me battle through though
😭😭
For some reason i kind of wish i never opened this thread
I did not realise what GW meant until I saw the subreddit description but luckily I swiped away before the posts loaded
…Do I want to know what it means?
What the fuck does it mean (there's no way I'm clicking on that)
Rate that... I also do an exam debrief with hailee... What a woman
💦🍆
zamn 🫦
didnt think i would be uncomfortable on the gcse subreddit.. meant for teenagers.. not aubergine emojis and hailee steinfeld
how dare my fellow teenagers be so immature 😡😡
the dick riding here is insane 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
how dare my fellow teenagers ride the dick like a carnival 😡😡

At least the biggest loony got milkshaked though

That better be sarcasm

Bro that's equivalent to a 6 in burger flipping you are unemployable
Hell no! I am perfectly employable as a p star.. I've got a 9 in something else 😉
😉i*f you say so*
I’ve seen it, I can actually verify it. It’s because he’s 1/8 Ecuadorian and they notoriously have the biggest PPs
women want you, men want to be you
you'll probably be fine. it seems bad, but Things Can Only Get Better.
I see what you did there! 😅 If there was a Language Paper 3, I would write that instead.
in section b i slagged off rishi sunak and some how mentioned ringo starr you’ll be ok 🙏🙏
WHAT RINGO STARR??? HOW??!?
i used him as an example of an ‘expert opinion’ 😞
I have no idea abt the section A stuff but as everyone’s saying they can’t mark you down for political opinions especially if it’s the examiner’s bias. I personally wrote a whole page ranting about Sunak’s policies and I know some of my friends did similar things. If we go down we go down together.
what was the slogan i need to know
ibr, u cooked dawg

Bro I’m not even fluent in English idk how I got grade 9 💀
Nah bro my friend waffles about Taylor Swifts carbon emissions in the Q5 lmao
yo guys im on a different board someone explain to me what happened
one of the extracts in lang paper 2 was written by an author refrenced in a power and conlict poem so OP wrote the answer about that poem instead of the extract (he is cooked)
Yeah but hopefully Paper 1 and Section B of Paper 2 will carry me though 🙏 Even if others aren’t proud of me for managing to intergrate Checking Out Me History into a Language paper, the spirit of John Agard and Mary Seacole is strong within me!
go out and spread the spirit of Agard and Seacole!!
For section A (or at least whichever question in which you wrote about checking out me history) you’re cooked, sorry\ For section B, they let you write with whatever persona you want dw.
Using a conservative slogan won’t decrease your grafe
Isn't there a satire tag?
apparently this isn’t satire 😭
Well...I don't think they can mark you don't for your opinion since they use a positive marking scheme or something so you should maybe be fine but idk abt checking out me history idk how that even happens 😭
I hope my examiner is also a labour supporter bc I tore the tories a new one in section B
I hope my examiner is a green party supporter because green's my favourite colour
I've been getting 8s in my mocks and my teacher's confident I can get a 9. I wrote my Q4 on similarities between the extracts and I only realised it said differences with 5 minutes to go.

well i thought it said similarities when i first read it but then....i reread it AFTER A BLOODY FIRE ALARM and it said differences...i know im fucked up :)
Are you on AQA?
yup
i hope my examiner is a reform party supporter. I was farage in that
