AQA English Literature June 2015 Predictions

Also even worse, I've heard they're changing the letter grading system to numbers. So now there are more numbers than letters being used in the grading system so an A* will be defined as a low A*, that'll just make people think they haven't done as well because they haven't got the best mark.
Yeah OMAM was tough, I suspect the grade boundaries will go down for that and go up for poetry since the unseen was easy to comprehend. We can tell each other on the day how we did so we can celebrate yay (hopefully).

Um not being rude but people can do what the hell they like, maybe it reassures them or makes them see realistically how well they've done so they are better prepared for what they will get in the future.

I just think every time i see these threads come up again that it's unhealthy for people to keep thinking and worrying over what's happened, theg cant change anything now, and if they start to worry that they maybe havent achieved the grade they wanted then their thoughts about this are gonna distract them from focusing on other exams so jeopardise other grades

I know I've heard that too, it's so annoying... They're changing the whole GCSE system which is ridiculous :/
Yeah hopefully that's the case, what other book did you do apart from OMAM?
And yeah definitely, I hope it's good news hahaha, are you in year 10 or year 11? I'm in year 10 so I've done English lit and biology early and then I've got everything else next year.

I did Woman In Black, it was weird to find that a lot of people don't do that one. I panicked when I saw the questions and ended up going for the harder one instead of the dead easy one - literally nobody did my question lol. I felt like I had some good points though so maybe I'll look original. What was your book?
In year 11, I do double award science though so I did core science (first three units of biology, physics and chemistry) in year 10. I wish we did English lit earlier, it would be so much less stressful - damn our school

hi so I'm a bit worried,
I did the conflict section but the one on mametz wood. I compared it to at the border which I thought was hard.
I wrote about:
the"woods" which show inhumanity with the machine guns vs the mountains which show alienation and confinement
the irregular lines vs free verse and what they resemble
uselessness and disposability of soldiers vs uselessness of border
I analysed techniques and stuff and I thought the unseen was easy. Unit 1 wasn't bad and I got 39/40 in my coursework. So would it be possible to get an A* by any chance.

many thanks

Does anyone know how the coursework add up to your overall mark. For example i got a C in my coursework so how does that grade add up to my overall grade in English??

Do you remember the exact wording of this question?

explain how a sense of place is used by the poet to explore effects of conflict

Pretty sure for AQA Lit it's 25%

That is completely different to what I remember. I recall ' how does the poet present ideas about conflict in Mametz Wood and one other ..' Maybe AQA made a mistake and issued 2 different papers? I can't see how so many people could misread the question as you have recalled it.
