For language? Nobody knows anything about the extracts. Literature can be predicted, but language nope! AQA language last year was some article about a Blues singer.

I'm pretty sure that was Edexcel. AQA never had one had a singer of any kind in their excerpts. I had friends who took the AQA exams, and they focused on a teacher (for paper one) and surfing (for paper two). We were the ones that got the stuff about Milton and Bessie.

Are you talking about the summary question Q2 on Paper 2 AQA worth 8 marks? I always struggle with that question.

Yea you’re correct actually. I’m thinking of my other English exam. Man, Bessie was a lad

Watch Mr Bruffs video on te language papers. At first I thought it didn't help, but aftermy mock I realised how much it did. I somehow managed to get full marks on Q2, P2.
