So I figured we should have a nice clean thread for the upcoming OCR English Literature exam on
20th May 2016 which is actually tomorrow!
I study The Merchant's Tale, The Tempest, The History Boys and The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories. Our first exam is Shakespeare and Poetry, is everyone looking forward to it/nervous in any way?
I am a bit apprehensive over this exam, nervous too but I reckon if it is a decent paper and good answerable questions then I should secure a good grade.
To access full OCR specimen papers/candidate exemplars and specs please click here. Myself and others, once the exam is over will post an unofficial mark scheme, grade boundaries and answers to some questions you may have struggled on!
The next exam after this one is
Drama and Prose on 26th May 2016 so once this one is over, please get revising for the next one! When posting below, it could help if you could mention the texts you have studied and any advice you could give to fellow users on TSR.
Remember for Shakespeare and Poetry, it is highly advisable to look up quotes, character profiles, critics quotes and interpretations as this is essentially going to give you the top marks! Choose quotes applicable to several scenes and stay calm and relaxed.
GRADE BOUNDARIES (PREDICTIONS)These are predictions my teacher has outlined based on the previous spec. Please do not think these are the official grade boundaries although they well could be.
