I got 83/108 in the English Mock, but we had paper 1 from 2007 and paper 2 from 2008, so they had to give a best fit for the grade... 83 worked out at an A.

Paper 1: 41 - 18/27 Media & 23/27 written
Paper 2: 42 - 17/27 section 1 & 25/27 poem

Of mice and men.
All I could find...

Mark given: Section A: 20, Section B: 24, QWC: 3 = 47/66 - Grade A (A* was at 53, so 6 off)

I got 53/57 in the cwk, so what mark would I need roughly in the exam?

Hope it is low this year, I thought the paper was much harder than any of the past papers :s-smilie:

Does anybody know how much the coursework's worth? In percentage? Becuase I was told that coursework in english literature was worth 20%, but I'm not sure that it's correct...

For AQA A English Lit, the coursework is worth 30%, the exam is worth 70% :smile:
And are the grade boundaries THAT HIGH? You can only lose 6 marks to get an A*?! Crazy!

Thanks!
And I'm a little worried about the grade boundaries too, surely we're allowed to lose more than just 6 marks??

I think it would be fantastic to achieve an A* in the English subjects for anyone because if the grade boundaries are so high you'll feel like a genious when you achieve it! :smile:
I hope everyone who wants an A* gets one and I hope you're all ecstatic on results day :smile: I hope the same happens to me :smile:
Well done to all of you :smile: Let's all have our finger's crossed that the grade boundaries are low and achieve the grade we all deserve! :biggrin:
