Well as a whole the exams went better than the mocks last year. I at least attempted to put some study effort in. However, this year I have put more effort throughout the year in so more information was already retained, especially in commerce so that studying was purely for brushing up on points and not staring at a page and going 'oh holy scheiße I have no idea what any of this is about.' Well.. apart from 2.1 accounting but who knows about accounting notions and qualitative characteristics, really.
In respect to Media Studies I did try but as seen in English my essay writing has never been particularly stellar. I'm not good at sequencing or the memorizing of points and quotes etc. I spent about an hour and a quarter on each essay I believe and didn't write everything that I could have purely for condensing purposes. In the representations essay I did have an essay memorized where they compared the boy racers to skin head Nazi's and compared their actions to those undertaken in the South African rugby protests of the 1980's but I felt it was too specific even within the offending group. Mmm I'm not sure what I'd do for the end of years that is different. I attempted to perfect them this time around so I'm not really sure what angle I would take next time. For genre I'd probably go back to basics and for representations write about whatever we learn in the coming weeks and write a parallel essay to everyone else in the class.
