A-level English Literature Study Group 2023-2024

My teacher doesn’t talk about critics because he doesn’t really think them important. It’s pretty easy to find critics online, and if you create your own impression of the next, this also counts as a critical view.

Is it too late to start making quote banks? I finished a quote bank on one out of five of my books but that took me like three days to do and thinking of making quote banks for the rest feels overwhelming. I'm stressing out so much!!

i dont think its too late but i would try and narrow down the number of quotes if its taking too long. try and get quotes that overlap different themes so you can narrow down how many you need to remember. also you can try and find some pre-made quote banks online.
also what books & exam board are you? i can share mine if we overlap

That's true! I'm doing OCR. The books are: Passing, Gatsby, Hamlet, Duchess of Malfi, Paradise Lost

I’ve got quote banks for Hamlet and DoM if you want them! I link them with key themes though.

hi guys i do edexcel!
i’m studying othello and a streetcar named desire
dracula and the picture of dorian gray
poems of the decade and rossetti
let me know if any of u are doing the same texts!!

Hi Marz, would it be possible if I read this? I'd like to know what angle you analysed the books from! I'm doing Edexcel (King Lear, Earnest, Keats), and am comparing Frankenstein and NLMG for my Paper 2 Prose exam! For my own NEA, I did Giovanni's Room and The Virgin Suicides. If you'd like evidence that I've handed this, I'm happy to provide it, don't want it to seem like I'm stealing your NEA lol <3

Hey, how are you finding Frankenstein + NLMG?

i’m doing streetcar for my nea!! how do you find it?
i actually also do edexcel and study dracula, dorian and poems of the decade!!! (and larkin for poetry and hamlet for my play)

This is where you can chat with other students studying the same subjects as you and support each other as you head towards your exams
You can post any useful tips and resources that you come across, offer support to others, share your successes, or just have moan when it gets tough!
Just remember, it’s against the site rules to ask for or offer any copyrighted papers, or to take conversations off-site to do these things. Posts that break these rules will be removed.
A few possible ice breaker questions are:
What exam board are you with?
What do you enjoy most about this subject/ course?
What area do you struggle with in this subject/ course?
Good luck with the next few months. Remember, ask for help, support where you can and together we can do this!
