GCSE English grade 9 exemplar answers

Announcements
Inspired by _gcx and his post ten months ago, I have decided to post my English scripts. I achieved two grade 9s in English last year. I have handed these scripts to a few people, but this is just an easier way to link them, and it's open to everyone. The post: https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/sho....php?t=5390332
I got my scripts a while ago, but only recently has the awarding body decided to release their papers. I post this early so people can see what decent answers look like, just like _gcx decided to. (I wonder if this will become a trend?)
In the two documents in this post, you will see my answers. Let's not be too harsh please, haha. You might see me prattle on a bit, and you might see some long answers.
For English literature, I studied Romeo & Juliet, An Inspector Calls, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and power and conflict poetry. I scored 78/80 in the first paper and 76/80 in the second. You might have to scroll down a bit to see the answers because these were typed.
These are the English literature papers that I sat:
For English language, I scored 59/64 in the first paper (full marks in the creative writing though, which was a nice consolation) and 96/96 in the second paper.

Ah drat, I've put them up again. I tried to be too fancy but aesthetics aren't very good if people can't access the content. Let's see if they still don't work. I've made them public and they seem just fine for me aha.

If someone else raises the issue, I will act, but until then, they seem to be working fine even when I'm not logged in to my Google Drive account. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

It might help if somebody else who did AQA did this as well.

I was also fortunate enough to have a bank of practice papers with me for English langauge. I remember my last feedback from revision being an e-mail from my teacher the night before the exam for the second language paper.

Could this be applicable to AQA English? I've studied Macbeth, an inspector calls Frankenstein and power and conflict however on the AQA spec

However, you can still probably use this for power and conflict poetry, and DEFINITELY for comparisons between unseen poems.
English language can mainly be applied as well.

In your case, unfortunately not. (for the most part). The two specifications not only mainly require different essay structures for their answers, but you've only really studied one of the texts that I did.

Can I ask, how did you revise for eng lit and eng lang? I'm currently doing GCSEs, and I'm really confused as to how to revise and remember all those quotes.
