Did you notice I was gone? All revising too hard for next week, no doubt. My internet has been down, but now I'm back, o joy and bliss.
So.... next week it's the whole paper 1 business... I hope that you're still practising with your media notebooks!
I've been looking for past papers for our exam on Tuesday, but can't find any higher question papers... could you please post a link as I assume I'm being stupid. Thanks.

ReplyDeletePaper 1 '09 (Higher)
There seem to be plenty of paper 2s and only this paper 1.

ReplyDeletesorry, random spelling mistakes in the previous post! here is what I said:
ReplyDeleteIsn't that past paper the one we did for our mock?
Are the questions in Section A of Paper 1 normally similar, e.g. the first one's always a summary, the 2nd one's often about layout...
if they are could you please put up a list of what the questions are normally like? Then I can make sure I know how to answer all possible types of question!
Also, is it always wise to go for the writing to persuade question, or do we pick the one we feel most comfortable with? If so, could you remind me of how to write to inform and explain, as I have completely forgotten!
Thank you!
Yes it does seem to be one we've done before... still good practice & thanks for finding, David.
ReplyDeleteI'm now going to check the darker realms of the internet for more past papers.
