I emailed AQA to ask them about the common mistake that many people did as some of my friends were in tears after the exam; Don't worry too much, but this is what they said:
Hello,
Thank you for your query.
At this stage I cannot comment on how marks will be awarded in the English Literature exam this morning, but I can reassure you that our examiners are first and foremost looking at the quality of candidate’s writing.
Candidates will not be penalised for this mistake, as examiners will pick up on this error and apply a “best fit” approach to marking the overall quality of the candidates response.
If the quality of the writing is high, and candidates responded to the issues raised in the question, they will be marked fairly.
We never deduct marks, and only award marks for relevant, high quality responses.
I hope this can reassure you.
As I said, don't be too concerned, focus on the next exams' revision this half term...Despite everything examiners are actually meant to award us as many marks as possible and its all dependent on the quality of your work...Wish you the best!
