I seem to recall barely passing that, since I am terrible at finding symbols in novels/poems/whatever. Half the time I don't even think the author meant to put all those symbols in there, they just popped up.
Don't suppose you have a list/document of those symbols? One of the questions that could be on our exam paper could be about symbols Golding uses.

And I agree - half the time those symbols aren't intended.
