Re: What type of English GCSE mark am I on.
Based on the grade boundaries for June 2011, your marks would equate as follows:
Unit 2 (Speaking and Listening - the mark out of 45) - B
Unit 3 (Understanding and Producing Creative Texts - the mark out of 90) - C.
So if you can achieve around the same level in your examination unit, you should be heading for around a C, I would estimate. -

How do you do Romeo and Juliet, Poetry and a short story? This is only Unit 3)a, which requires an exploration of one task. It is out of 30, rather than 15.
Also, you have yet to do the Unit 3)c which is the Spoken Language Study; this is out of 20.
The individual creative writing marks are out of 10 to give a total of 30; a mark of 11 is impossible.
Therefore:
Unit 3)a: ?
Unit 3)b: ?
Unit 3)c: ?
Ah, I see. You're doing English GCSE, rather than English Language GCSE. So sorry - I'm not sure about how that GCSE works, I'm afraid
Good luck anyway!
