How to succeed in English language GCSE

Scroll to see replies

Get some full marks sample answers and compare them with your answer. This is key. Before I found the top tier answers I literally had no idea what I should write, but now I know exactly how to get all the marks.

better tbh, just learn alot of quotes and analyse them all. id send you mine but i did WJEC which no one does and has different poems. aswell as that the poems i did arent going to come up for you even if u are doing wjec.

just learn quotes and context - you must have some context in every poem.

Yay! We do the same exam board (>~< ) I do WJEC too and the books we're doing is An Inspector Calls, A Christmas Carol, Macbeth and 18 other poems. If you did the same books could you please pm quotes?

I'll post my poem answer when I get home from school, the macbeth one is in this thread somewhere. My script shows the marks given and u can see that just simply regurgitating quotes can give u marks, and another for analysing it. Our paper had Manmetz wood and I compared it to manhunt, will send tonight

Hear my story I got D 3 time. After putting head down for 1 month got the grade I needed for university. Best solution is do last papers and learn all the language techniques. Get it mark by your teacher. That’s how I passed.
