Ghi chú bài học

Know your papers

  • Check the exam board and current paper instructions. AQA 8702 uses two closed-book papers with required extracts or poems supplied: Paper 1 covers Shakespeare and the nineteenth-century novel; Paper 2 covers a modern text, anthology comparison and two unseen tasks. This is not a universal description of every board.
  • AO1 concerns understanding, personal response and textual references; AO2 analyses language, form and structure. AO3 concerns text/context relationships. AO4 includes vocabulary and sentence structures for clarity and effect, with accurate spelling and punctuation. Tasks do not all assess every AO.

In the exam

  • Read the question and instructions, including any choice, passage scope and required wider-text reference.
  • Plan a working argument with relevant evidence. There is no compulsory planning duration, point count or paragraph acronym.
  • Use the available marks and reading demands to organise time, leaving room to check what you have written.
  • Support interpretation with accurate quotations or precise references. Explain methods and context where relevant; a PEEL paragraph and a context sentence in every response are not requirements.

Revising

  • Make prompts about themes, development, methods and precise wording. Try answering before turning a card or checking notes; record errors for later practice.
  • Practise timed essays and self-mark against the mark scheme.
  • Use mind-maps for characters and themes; retrieval practice (blank page recall).
  • Look at examiner reports and model answers.

Common errors

  • Avoid neglecting instructions, replacing interpretation with retelling, inventing quotations, listing terms without explanation, or using unrelated context. A missing paragraph acronym or a short quotation bank is not itself an error.
