I sincerely think Narrative is the most difficult. It involves a lot of creativity and lots of examiners are strict on that unless it is really original.
So I recommend everyone not to do it unless they are amazing at it. :eek:

Take an easier route and chose Argumentative. You just need to jot down ideas.
Or, Descriptive. If you are good in vocabulary and can describe things well.
Discursive if you are really good at debating. ;)
Em having exam after 1 hr...
Plz do pray fr me... :D

Good luck.

Btw, what are the exam differences for English for everyone? Mine is about 10 hours from now. So if anyone has their exam before me.
Please do give me some raw tips if it's a report or whatever :D Thanks!

Today em having 3 exams .... (two clashing)...

Nothing is impossible if you believe in your self... RIGHTT?? :p So go and shine... some people perform better under pressure :)

On 8th May the first day there were three exams... French, Business Studies And Math!
Mine is in T- 5 hours :)
AnD hopefully ATleast in English people wont CHEAT or ask for an unfair advantage!

What i have heard is that arguementative has high expectations of pointz of views and counter points... in that situation it might be hard :p
Discursive is easier with both sides to be discussed.... and is worth attempting for 25 marks..
and narrative yes is very TRICKY.... the question might sound easy but to end a story and even begin one in this word limit is beyond shakespeare himself :p

The writer's effects was hard.
What did you guys write for it, like the theme etc?

I might lose marks there :/ Pray for me! :) Inshallah A*, Ameen.

Btw, I'm pretty sure we can discuss. The paper is over anyway.
