This was really useful with a teacher who refuses to grade essays or explain the marking scheme. Thanks a million! :)

this is a really helpful thing to note as when our mocks came back with this kind of grading our English teacher could not tell us for sure whether or not that was the way it would be marked in the exam.
I think it's a bit pressing that not only are so many students sitting their exams unaware of this, many teachers are too.

What year did you do yours? I was a B1 in honours level in 2014. Just that bit off an A2 :( I was still very happy though, as I did bad enough in previous years, even to the point where I would fail for not doing one thing: keeping the question in mind!
