    German Continuers

    oops, i feel stupid (ignore above post). Just read they do it for all subjects.... Mainly wondering if anybody had any news from people from past years. e.g. some expected a mark of about 80, but then was happily surprised when their final mark was in the 90s.

    German Continuers

    I know that maths marks definitely get alligned (i.e. even before UAC get's hold of them). Does anyone know if they do that with German marks? Like, if you actually got 90% u'll prolly end up with a mark of 93%?

I'm not talking about the actual talking (that was cool) just the gaps between each...

    Need More Yeats

    My trial question was: Whilst Yeats' poetry is shaped by his personal, political and literary values and context, the power of his poetry lies in the fact that he makes a strong connection with contemporary readers from a variety of contexts. Explore this statement in relation to at...
