OCR English Lit help!!! (A level)

Hello,
I'm just wondering if anyone out there is doing OCR A Level paper using Maud by Tennyson & Ibsen's A Doll's House for the poetry pre 1900 paper? Nobody out there seems to be studying Maud for this paper and it doesn't help that there is literally no revision material out there/practice questions!!
I'm also doing The Bloody Chamber & Dracula for the other paper!

Tell me about it - no practice questions drives me nuts. My only hope is that new course = lower grade boundaries, cos the old ones are a little high for my tastes.

I'm not doing Maud, but I am doing Ibsen's A Doll's House, (with The Merchant's Tale and Prologue). I am also doing Dracula, (but with The Picture of Dorian Gray).

i hope you're right about the grade boundaries!! just so so frustrating that there is nothing to go off for Maud let's just hope they're not expecting much!

Well they have to be lower than last year - they were absolutely mental.

Hi, hope your exams went well!
I am doing Maud as well, but comparing it to John Webster's The Duchess of Malfi, for my exams this summer. Were you able to find any critical quotes/interpretations on the Maud? I am lacking in that area and it is hard to find any.
Woud be appreciated if possible!
Thank you
