OCR English Exam

Does anyone know what the OCR English exam on the 18th of May is about? I'm not sure and I can't find it on the OCR site. Thanks for the help!

I would guess ... about English?

Surely the point of the exam is to not know what its about?

Your teacher should give you a general idea of what will appear, but I don't think you would ever get the exact question.

Smithy0115 · 15 May 2011 at 20:24

Yeah, thats what I can't find, the topic. I have 4 English exams and its hard to differentiate between them. I'm not trying to cheat, I want to know the topic (If its Opening Worlds or not etc.).

Ask your teacher tommorow.

Nymins · 15 May 2011 at 20:26

Did they not tell you what the topic would be in each paper? In most subjects, they will give you an outline of the topic on each paper to save you from revising everything at once.

Smithy0115 · 15 May 2011 at 20:29

Yeah, looks like I'll have to wait until tomorrow. They never gave us a sheet outlining the exams, which is pretty poor. Well I'll revise for the paper tomorrow as I know what is on, as well as physics (a real subject

). Wish me luck!

+1 on physics being a real subject, also I hate OCR. It seems that they have more ambiguous questions than all of the other exam boards combined.

I agree, plus the Physics paper is IGCSE, which rocks.

On the 18th, its the exam on the opening world stories. Last six in the book.
Is also "Writing to analyse,review, comment" and "Writing to argue, persuade, advise" I assume you know whats in the test tomorrow?

Ahh physics does not get that hard till you get to A levels.
It becomes ten fold harder and makes any other subject look incredibly easy.

( I thought you were doing A levels as I never did 4 English papers)

Good luck for tomorrow

Is that because it's so boring?

What do you mean?

Smithy0115 · 15 May 2011 at 20:50

At A level the 'poo' gets real (harder).
