What exam board do you guys do??

The Anthologies (with the known poems) have been removed from 2022 exams (AQA). For poetry, only Unseen Poetry remains.

How do you know this?

gcse for 2021 was school based for may n june exams but november for reset
If I were a betting person:Anthology would focus on power of nature: Storm on the Island for power and conflict.A Christmas Carol: theme of greed with something like the golden idol extract.Romeo

And any predictions for 2022?


Im an english teacher who also marks for aqa exam board and I belive that for love and relationship poetry section the poem will sonnet 29 i think of thee, this is due to this being a piece that both low grade and high grade students can do, its also comparable to multiple other poems using themes of natural imagery and desire.

Also, sorry, but do you mind me asking for help for english language please. What would you say are top tips into getting into top band for each question? What are easy ways to get marks for each question? Ways to impress the examiner? Is there something generic that I can say that will get me marks please?
For inspector calls- character question on Mrs. birling or Eric or theme question on generation gap

Do you know the predictions for A Christmas carol for AQA???
the question was about the theme of authority in london and one other poem

Poetry (War and Conflict)
War and conflict poems used over the past 4 exam sequences are: Remains, War Photographer, Ozymandias, Bayonet Charge.

I would love Charge of the Light Brigade or Exposure, following the theme of war, however I would guess it is more than likely going to be the power of nature (Prelude, Storm on the Island, Exposure).

Does anyone know why I cannot locate any past papers from before 2017? I have scoured the net, and I am wondering if there is a simple explanation. I would be interested to see what poems were used 2016, 2015 and 2014.


Because the exams changed in 2017 so we don't have access to any past papers as they changed dramatically apparently so they would be of no use to us

i saw a youtube video by Mr Salles saying that it most likely could be "checking out me history" due to the BLM movement that is quite recent and since its not a war poem either

Farmers bride - strong feelings in romantic relationships

My predictions - not that they should be worth much - are S29 or Follower.
My teacher thinks it's gonna be a break up poem like "Neutral Tones" or "When we two parted"
