I think for Como Agua it will be a question based more on the women , for example Rosaura and possibly her differences from Tita, or the Mexican familiy traditions that are evident throughout the book. I feel like I am leaning my revision more towards these things, and also the kitchen?

Hm I’m not so sure because last year’s question was “Gertrudis is the only sister who truly liberates herself” (along those lines) so they’ve already asked that sort of question. It’s not impossible tho obviously.

The last time Mamá Elena came up was 2018 so I think another question on her is possible.
Also they’ve never asked about La Revolución Mexicana so that’s defo a possibility.

If I’m not wrong there tends to be 1 question about a character and 1 question about a theme

for paper two, 2019 it was something like this:

A* = 67
A = 60
B = 48
C = 37
D = 28
E = 17

that theoretically means the 2023 ones will probably be the same or slightly lower than those - what book/film are you doing?

Oh I didn't know about that for last years! As ive just been looking at AQA website I don't think the 2022 papers are on there so that's really helpful thank you :smile: Yes Mama Elena is a possibility I agree, and la revolucion seems to be quite plausible too- but thanks for letting me know!

guys if u want to check the boundaries, bare in mind they scale up paper 1 and 3
multiply your estimation of ur mark for paper 1 and 3 by 2 and then whatevers left subtracted from 340 is what u need for an A* at most this year

No worries! We did it for a mock. The other question was on the theme of magic realism so I’m gonna skip that for revision

are you just guessing this is what the grade boundary would be? didn't they say around 2019 but if anything a bit lower

2019 was 338/400 for an A*. 2022 was 327 for an A*. So 340 is pretty much the highest they could go as the boundaries are supposed to be 2019 standard with a little bit of leniency.

400 being paper 1 x 2 and paper 3 x 2 and then paper 2 remains at 80 marks

Does anyone know if they can use a topic in past November Series exams in the A Level? For example, el bien y el mal came up in November 2021 exam, could it still come up in this years exam?

2020- Analyse the symbols that reflect Vidal's character, OR 'Ofelia, Mercedes and Carmen represent three very different types of women', do you agree? Justify your view
2022- 'The film presents el mundo subterráneo as a part of Ofelia's imagination', To what extent do you agree? OR 'Vidal is a cruel man obsessed with demonstrating his authority to hide his true feelings', to what extent do you agree?
