Hi, does anyone know who accurately predicts the questions for GCSE AQA English Literature? Is Mr Salles or Mr Bruff accurate?

It is nigh on impossible to fully predict the questions, especially for AQA as they often do unexpected things (I believe Eric has come up in three questions, as opposed to the Inspector who has come up in none). That said, it is possible to predict a range of topics and I believe people have said before about Mr Salles (I don't know about Mr Bruff) that their predictions have been quite accurate.

There are a few threads on TSR that I'll link below if you want to check them out, containing some ideas for predictions. Note that while you can focus your revision in these, it's still extremely recommended to continue revising everything fully, because you never know. You'll note that there are about 5 things for all the books and such that may come up, but it's still possible that they don't come up at all or come up unexpectedly. So, while it's good to be checking out places like Mr Salles and Mr Bruff, please bear in mind that it's still fallible and it's not recommended to cut down other revision for the predicted stuff.

Please don't think I'm trying to dissuade you though haha, you may know all this already but I just like to make sure that people don't forget that these predictions are more educated guesses. I hope this helped, and best of luck with your exams!

Hi, thanks a lot for your response!!

Yes, I have been and will continue to revise everything but was trying to use the predicted questions as more of a stimulus to try and think of ideas to talk about and quotes to use for a range of characters/themes to derive deeper meaning!!

I’ll check those out- thanks a lot!
