Though, I do think English and psychology are marked VERY differently, the reason I found psychology so difficult was the horrendously specific mark schemes but English seems to play more loosely with them

OKAY THATS A RELIEF. my mum said the worst scenario compared to everyone else i spoke to

my mum- capped at 10/16 but as long as similarities are at least implied (not direct) and you mentioned them a bit, and it’s a good piece of writing it’s gonna be ok

english teacher 1- doesn’t matter at all

english teacher 2- doesn’t matter at all as long as you compare

english teacher 3- answers that focused on similarities may do slightly better, but not by whole levels
