OMD you're like a God send the documents are so helpful

P.S Guys I came across an old post in 2011 were a student got full marks in the exam - it's not an example essay but gives valuable tips in hitting those AO's, by the 12th of June all of you guys better feel you got nothing lower than an A

Just thought I'd upload a model essay of mine for Hamlet and Revenger's Tragedy - My teacher marked it 34/40 but I did miss AO4 in the first paragraph which inevitably impacted on me getting an A*
AO1 - 9/10
AO2 - 9/10
A03 - 8/10
A04 - 8/10
Though I still don't know how I'd write that under exam conditions

awww thank you hope it helps i dont know how many quotes to revise for

I would say give or take 5 quotes per theme plus two or three quotes of a critic per theme - cos I when I analysis language specifically I only use one quote per paragraph but analyse it in depth and try to talk about how the words in the quote contribute to some sort of meaning in the text. So considering that I use one quote per paragraph and write about 5 paragraphs for the main body of the essay - I try to learn 5 or more for each theme. And in the exam the moment you choose the essay question plan it and put the quotes down. So I would plan the Wife of bath essay and include quotes, then plan the Hamlet essay and put the quotes down and then go back to WoB and write the essay - that way I've got down all the quotes and critics I've memorised that is still fresh in my mind and I no longer need to retain it that way after doing WoB I don't completely forget the Hamlet quotes.

So plan and get the quotes done for both sections before you answer any question fully and just leave a few pages blank so that you don't run out of space and write over your plan for section B. <- I dunno if that made sense but yeah...

Only if it's 24 carat gold ring haha but no problem you can more or less follow the structure for drama too but tweak it for the partner text such as having a critic - luckily for me Hamlet and The Revengers Tragedy have the same context but that may differ with the texts studied.

I've been searching everywhere for a WJEC thread and couldn't find one, so I thought I'd start one! How is everyone's revision getting on? It would be really great if we could compile a range of sources for us to all use. I'm doing Paradise Lost for section A and Hamlet + Revenger's Tragedy for section B. Is anyone else in the same boat?

I'm doing the same as you, but I'm reallyyy struggling to learn quotes for all three I think I'm okay on Hamlet, but Revenger's and PL are a nightmare! I hope the role of women comes up for at least one section, that's the only theme I'm really sure on

Same here! I find PL so hard. How are you revising your texts? My english revision has been sidelined a bit due to my history exam on monday

I'm exactly the same, I have a history exam on Monday too which is literally taking up EVERY waking hour Good to know someone else is in the same boat though! I'm just making theme pages where I list all the quotes that could apply to each theme, so at least I'll have something to analyse in the exam... critics I've sidelined a bit, I only know about two, but I figure that I'll look at those when I'm more confident on the actual texts! I'm devoting Tuesday and Wednesday to solid English, just repeating quotes until they stick in my head

I really wish we had the texts for the exam

In fact, the entire jump from AS->A2 WJEC English Lit feels overkill.

Why is this exam closed text? WhWhy did they even bother making last years exam open-text? Did we really need the books to answer the poetry question in last years exam? Oh well.
