A2 AQA English Panic Room

The Synoptic is not on Friday its on the following Wednesday.

Unit 5 (Measure for Measure and Emily Dickinson in my case) is on Friday.

For Measure for Measure am gona do a analysis for each character and then traits in the play such as law and lawlessness, morals, life and death, punishment etc.

That's strange... it definitely says that it is the other way round for me..

Are you quite sure? I have the sheet in front of me..

Well i have Unit 5 on Friday which i was told to be Measure for Measure etc. And then then Unit 5 as the synoptic. Also, the synoptic I imagine to be longer and on my form its 180mins compared to the 120mins for the other exam.

Hmm that's interesting. My timetable also says that my AQA English Literature Unit 6 Exam (the 180minute synoptic exam) is taking place on Friday 6th June at 2pm.

Check with your school or examinations officer ASAP. Also the exam units should be units FOUR and SIX. Unit FIVE was the coursework unit. It sounds to me that you may be doing English Literature SPECIFICATION B, whilst the OP and I are discussing Specification A.

Also, some advice on Lyrical Ballads: when you look at the poems keep Wordsworth and Coleridge's aims in mind (their aims are listed in an Advertisement written by Wordsworth [surprise] that should be in the front of your edition). They wanted to write about "human passions, human characters and human incidents". Look through all the poems with this in mind and it will give you a good starting point for analysis as well as links between the poems. This is only a stating point and you'll have to do seem deeper analysis, picking out other common themes etc, but it'll get you started and make things easier to remember.

No, Friday is Measure for Measure etc, the Synoptic is on the 11th.

My 2 English teachers said we will get the pre-release material on the Friday after our Measure for Measure exam.

Having googled this it seems i am right. But shall be double checking tomorrow with my teachers.

Gone slightly OT here, guys! It sounds like he is doing a different spec to us, seeing as I've not been informed of any pre release malarkey.

Also, thanks to need2revise for your help, that's good advice.

Keep 'em coming!

I'm feeling semi-confident for Friday's war in literature, sort of the same about John Clare but not feeling good at all for Hamlet! Any one have any miraculous methods for getting to grips with it? I just don't like it :frown:
