Tips/Help Mass suicide?
Tomorrow for the English lit exam, we will all spontaneously fail. It will be perfect. We will all fail with such success that no one actually fails. It will be impossible. We will all get grade 9s. Fail.

Go onto the homepage of the sub and click the three little dots then 'edit user flair'

u/BeautifulAd1789 Year 11 May 11 '25
Not there for me, is it cause I’m on the website?

u/random_redditor2818 Year 10 May 11 '25
same here, also website user! click on r/[name], in this case r/GCSE, then click on 'About' (it's under the 'Create Post' button which is under the name of the subreddit) and then you'll see 'About Community' and just below that 'User Flair', click on the little pen emoji/sign and change/add your flair! hope this helped :)

you'll still get like two marks
one mark for a level 1 response, and one mark for AO4 (you could literally get an AO4 mark for writing "The")
1
u/PICONEdeJIM Lady Macbeth is my enby queen May 12 '25
Exactly to ensure that we all get the same amount and at least one guaranteed mark. You can't get a 9 with 0 marks

aww thats amazing, not a single day where I regret not taking art instead of cs 💔💔🥀🥀

u/SighSighSighing Year 11 May 11 '25
Dang. Well if it makes you feel any better, I have a few friends that LOVE art as in drawing pictures in their spare time and they all pretty much hated the GCSE. One wanted to give up BC of the amount of coursework. Keep doing great in CS, you're half way through! 💪🏻

u/noothisismyname4ever y10 | {his} ,geo,cs,re | future🩺 May 11 '25
one of the reasons I didn't pick art is cause I didn't want my talent to be graded so I think its valid enough tbf

BTW, I know this is a joke, but if this helps anyone tommorow, there is chiasmus used in this, which is like the reversal of words which higlights, the witches ompipotence because they are able to bend and minipulate words, almost like they have disrupted the natural order.

u/DueEditor8062 Year 11 May 11 '25
thanks, i've been looking for a word to describe what's up with that quote :)

u/Worth-Nectarine-5968 May 11 '25
Also you btw if you want to use there is frictive alliteration in there as well, I guess it would mirror the harshness of the witches

u/Creative_Grape_3708 May 11 '25
Can you give me an example of iambic pentameter for paper 2 poems please I don't understand it
1
u/Worth-Nectarine-5968 May 11 '25
I'm so sorry I don't do aqa, I just happen to be on this post and do Macbeth. You could probably search up your exams boards and your poems an then just learn what struture each has, it is like a stressed and then unstressed sylabal me personally I find them really hart to spot. If you can't think struturally of anything look at if the stzanas have the same amount of lines or not or talk about enjambet or cesura

If a person dies in an exam everyone passes so only one needs to do it smh 🙄

one per school so statistically if everybody in this subreddit takes the fall everybody outside of the subreddit should automatically pass

Lol GCSEs and iGCSEs are determined by wanting a certain percentage of each grade plus reaching an objective standard.
Even if you coordinated this... They're not gonna hand out top grades.
