It's been such a long time since I submitted the third of my four Unit 1 essays I had forgotten all about it. What with all the Unit 3 studying I've been doing, helping at the IWC in April and the LISWF in May, getting an envelope from the WSET yesterday was a bit of a surprise. I passed the "Crisis in the French wine industry" essay with merit so I'm pretty pleased.
However I'm finding the 30 minute, up to 1,000 word practice essays for Unit 3 still a challenge however. I can't seem to get sufficient detail into them in the right time frame but, thinking positively, at least I'm getting this feedback now rather than finding out by failing Unit 3.
That's my worst nightmare right now - failing Unit 3 and having to resit.

Well, I have to thank you just a little bit for helping me pass (with distinction) Unit 2. I made sure I went back, read the part in Jancis on rootstocks and many other items.
The OCW on her Purple Pages website was incredibly helpful.
Now to start one of the essays and I think I will do the sparkling unit this fall before embarking on unit 3 in January.
That's awesome - a distinction. Very well done, Marissa!
Yeah, but now the pressure is on to try and keep distinction. Some really cruel friends this weekend bought some wines for me to blind taste; i say cruel because the wines were a rose from greece, a tramini from hungary, a muscat sec from vin de pays catallanes and cahors. needless to say, that kind of thing really humbles you.
good luck on the essay.
