I thought I would start a thread so that all the GCSE students who are doing English Literature on the AQA Exam board on the 18th and 22nd of May can discuss revision tips and tricks and offer help.
I am doing Inspector Calls and Of Mice and Men alongside Animal Farm and Carol Ann Duffy for the poems. Is any one else doing the same? Looking for some revision techniques as I'm struggling with this subject!

I'm doing the Sunlight on the Grass anthology and TKAM, and then the Relationships section of MUTT anthology for poetry, so completely different but I've mostly revised by looking over past papers to see the kinds of questions that come up. From that, I've made up my own questions that are different to what has already been asked to try and come up with possibilities that could appear in the exam and made notes on possible comparisons I could make. Can't really think of many other ways aside from trying to remember key language features in each poem/short story

Anyone else irritated by how the "specification" for English Literature is three words: "characters, themes and settings"? They can ask as anything they want...

Yes!! It is quite broad with all the different characters and their own individual analysis, the range of themes and all the settings to remember. Not to mention the quotes to recall, not looking forward to this at all

I'm just mythed why, when some subjects have at least nine pages of specification, English Literature can't do anything better than three words. Anyhow, they're my first two exams so it will be good to get it over and done with.

My teacher said she is not sure as they've all come up before, so expect the unexpected!
