This week our mock exams were given back to us, along with a mark based on last year's mark scheme. Due to it being from the previous mark scheme, it was probably not very reliable but it did provide us with a rough grade which I was thankful for. Ms Abena has made some comments on my answers that I needed to improve on. In the mock exam I spent a lot of time working on the first three questions, even though they were only 8 marks each. Furthermore in the last two questions I ran out of inspiration and felt like I was just rambling aimlessly. I took in account what Ms Abena pointed out I needed to do and combined it with what I thought I needed to improve on. Such as, more analysis with the 16 mark question, or linking the photo to the text and adding the how and why to increase the analysis. As well as being more specific, elaborate on explanations and making sure that I don't repeat myself.
To get further I will need to ask someone in my class or Ms Abena herself how I make sure I do all those things and use their tips in further exam writing, or any writing at all.
Good luck with it Lisa. If you need any more guidance we're all here to help :0)
