English Lit - terminology for A Level

Don't know if this applies to all exam boards or if its the board your doing but I do AQA and they base their marking off 5 assessment objectives
AO1 - clarity of the written argument
AO2 - how methods are used, eg language form and structure and their effects
AO3 - historical context that could have influenced the writer
AO4 - how historical context has changed/stayed the same/readers opinions have changed/stayed the same in the texts your writing about
AO5 - whether you've actually answered the question or not

AO4 and AO3 are hard to separate and you can't really do one without the other. As for a-level terminology, the exam board doesn't really care about you using super fancy terminology as long as your using accurate terminology eg not calling a noun a verb and can explain why this language choice was so important to crafting the meaning within the text
