They will. It says so in the Work Scheme. They said that they will give you a mark for everything you get correct, even if it is irrelevant.

they are strict as far as i know! If you write very very well...then only you can get A! hope we all get good grades!

But if a reasonably large proportion of answers for a specific question are a bit vague or differ from the actual demands of the question, they probably lower their grading standards for that question. And if many people don't do well on a question GT should be lower.

Yes, sorry, I linked the david crystal book by mistake. My bad. Just a mix-up of copy-pasting. I fixed it in a later post.

This book: http://www.amazon.com/English-Language-Cambridge-International-Level/dp/0198300123

is what I meant.

Do we have a copy of the entire thing somewhere. Thats genius, publish it a month before the exams.

Hello everyone! I'm really freaked out about my paper 2 because I think I messed up big time in section B. (argumentative essays aren't really my thing) so any chance I still might get an A? Paper 1 went okay-ish.

Any solid resources for paper 3 (text analysis)......PLease share something guys...!!!!

 

[SB29597]

[SB29597]

I know right! I'm so happy! I think my commentary was stellar!

Oh my goodness. Come to think of it, the English exams so far went by quite well :O I have a paper 3 today... but it's apparently similar to paper 1 so hopefully, no trouble there.

In paper 2, I might have messed up a bit in part B... I think I wrote too little :/ Anyway, has anyone else started working for paper 4?

Wait. Six pages or six sides?

 

[kaka g]

6 sides

 

[SB29597]

6 sides

Sigh of relief. My hand almost fell off when I was writing. I did ten sides in total. Approximately 200-230 words a side.
