Grade 9 in English Literature

Hi, I’m doing Dr Jekyll and Hyde, Macbeth, Inspector calls, Poetry I’m stuck in 6s and 7, I really want to get a grade 9

I’ve checked out a website called Physics and Maths tutor, it has English notes, can someone please check that and tell me if it’s good enough for grade 8s and 9s

Also send me your tips and how you got a grade 8 or 9

Thanks

Hi I'm a year 12 and would certainly recommend PMT I would advise you to create character and theme mindmaps for everything then look on PMT for quotes, context ect you missed and add in a different colour. Keep creating them off by heart then do as many practise essays/ past papers as possible and TIME YOURSELF - give yourself approx one minute a mark then add anything else to the essay in a different colour or make a note of where you passed the time- it is important to be strict with yourself to get those grades. Then hand them to your teachers to mark - they will even help source questions for you. Good luck with your revision - which other subjects do you take as I may be able to help ?

seneca learning is also a godsend for revision of characters, context or anything, there are paying versions but most of it is free and there are even sample essay questions too !
Hope you found that helpful !

im in year 11 and getting 9s in practice papers and i think the main jump between 6s and 7s to 8s and 9s is vocabulary and punctuation and general essay crafting, there are some good quizlets on improving vocab and memorising words to show off and also look for synonyms of key words like depict and suggest, also working on how to use semi colons and colons with affect is quite a key thing too

this all just stuff my english teacher has been telling us for the last year so yhh i hope this helps (:

hi! i’m year 13 but got 9 in both english language and lit. my biggest piece of advice is to create a poster, mindmap (whatever you find most effective) of key concepts of the literature you do, e.g inspector calls having class, gender roles, etc. i then found very good quotes i could use either for multiple themes or that are very strong and added these on. i then transferred them to cue cards. i always found id get the most marks when i included lots of context and WHY the author wrote specific things, as well as lots of quotes

i wish you the best of luck!

Hi, you got any links to the vocab? , I know essays with grade 9 have loads of good words but can’t find them, but thanks though

Thank you so much! To create the grade 9 notes what resource did you use?

Thank you, I will defo make notes off pmt, did you use any other resources of English? I do all the normal subjects with sciences and English AQA and maths Ed excel, I do history, r.s., business AQA and edexcel

I looked at the glossary of revision guides to find grade 8/9 vocab and learnt where it could be applied then for each I went to youtube or even tiktok to find more in-depth context to understand WHY the writer focused on or wrote something

sorry, could you clarify what you mean?
if i’m thinking what you mean: i used classic paper and different colour pens (these are also a very useful tip!) and then either went through the book and looked at my highlighted quotes or looked up online, unfortunately i can’t remember what websites i used as it was a long time ago but i remember quizlet being very good!

Oh it’s fine, I meant website etc, thanks a lot though

For maths - Mathsgenie complete all tests and check answers and note down your scores then filter by grade depending on your personal targets, Youtube was really helpful in explaining answers to papers I had struggled with as it was like a lesson without interruption.
Seneca and quizlet were great for all of my subjects
History was one of my favourite subjects- I made timelines on my wall out of post-it notes . I used a different colour per topic i.e yellow for health
Mindmaps were also essential , Youtube is also great to gain additional information , and would give the same essay advice as for english regarding timing ect. seneca helped me loads in history as it is pretty content heavy for GCSE so I was able to revise different areas easily

Good luck- don't put too much pressure on yourself and balance your workload . I would advise little and often with revision as becoming burnt out is so easily done - just gradually increase nearer to exam season

Thanks, for maths did you only use maths genie? and also thank you so much for all the help, I really appreciate it
