English Literature 2017

you dent need to to be honest , just have a rough outline of what they are about , i.e. key themes , and then just analyse when in the exam

How the hell are you supposed to learn 15 poems of by heart?

Make a grid with context of the poem, the content, the themes, images and structures for each poem. That's what I'm doing because I have to learn 19

You need a lot of motivation to learn 19 poems doubt I could do that. I would 100% fail if I was sitting next years exams but this year an hopeful A for me.

Exam Board - WJEC

I also do WJEC but all I have to do is compare two unseen poems which I get given in the exam in regards to poetry. I have to memorise nothing in terms of poetry for WJEC exam this year feel so lucky. Got my English Lit exams 23rd and 27th May 2016.

I'm doing the new GCSE and good luck with your exam. I get A's in my exams anyways. I'll be fine

Luckily I don't have to memorise 15 poems but I just don't see how memorising 15 poems could do anyone any good in the long run and was very curious how somebody could do it I have a GCSE English Literature exam on Monday and sick to death with remembering Of Mice and Men quotes as my exam is closed book. I am dreading the comparison between two unseen poems, I would be crying by now if I had to memorise 15.

thats why i love ocr , all extract based ,no quotes to remember

You'd be surprised at how much of the poem you absorb by just analysing it for a while, especially if it has a structured rhyme scheme and regular rhythm. I can still remember a lot of the poems from my GCSE anthology which I studied last year, and that was an open book exam. I think the key thing is probably just to remember relevant phrases from the poem though, rather than the entire thing, especially for the longer ones.

Agreed. Did you study Conflict??
