For Inspector Calls, mr Bruff’s revision song and then a couple for each character/theme. You only need one/two per point x

What questions are likely to come up for macbeth and Christmas carol ?x
To be honest I just state quotes everywhere I go, I link real life scenarios in school and piss people off by stating a quote to go with it

Drawing a mind map also helps, of each characters and themes

My teacher suggested that supernatural might turn up for Macbeth. Or Banquo. Unfortunately, I don't study Christmas Carol, but I do study An Inspector Calls. I presume it may be Eric, Gerald, Mr Birling or Sheila (Did she already turn up as a question?).
Anybody study The Sign of Four?

Last year I think it was Mrs B. However, this year I don't know why but I have a weird feeling that it is going to be Gerald.

Yes, last year it was on Mrs Birling and the Inspector. I too also have a feeling Gerald might turn up, but it's wedged between Mr Birling or Eric!
Gerald was in one of the locked spec papers (my friends mum is an examiner for AQA)

Eric or Mr Birling.

Mr Birling is easy and Eric

Unfortunately, I don't. I've googled around and this is what I found:
"Mimesis might be found in a play with a realistic setting or in a particularly life-like statue"

Well, I'm not sure if that helps at all, but here's the link:

Mr Birling, Mrs Birling, Eric and the inspector are the most likely to come up for Edexcel.

And for macbeth anything could come up!
