I found this exam to be very stressful. First off, I counted 631 words but I’m not sure how true it is since I counted very fast but do the teachers count the words? Also about the 7% that fail, what are they doing wrong? Are they using personal pronouns? Are they not quoting? Do we have to name the literary device we used in the text??
