A-level English Literature Study Group 2022-2023

Welcome to the A-level English Literature Study Group! :woo:

This is where you can chat to others students taking your subject as you prepare for your A-level exams this summer

What can I do in these groups?

Almost anything! If you need help with a certain topic, want to rant about something you are struggling with or just want to support other students who are trying to prepare, this is the place for you. We want these to be a useful place for everyone no matter what you're looking for! :smile:

What can't I do in these groups?

Asking or offering copyright papers is against our site rules, and so is taking conversation off-site to do these things. Any posts doing this will be removed. That's the only rule :naughty:

Ice Breaker questions if you want to use them!

> What exam board are you on? (Vote in the poll as well!)

> What bits of the course are you feeling confident with?

> What areas are you struggling with a little?

> Have you found any resources online that have helped you prepare?

Specifications:

AQA - English Literature 7712

Edexcel - English Literature 9ETO

OCR- English Literature H472

WJEC - English Literature

Good luck with the next few months. Remember, ask for help, support where you can and together we can do this! :yes:

OP

Keeping this space for a list of resources or study tools that are recommended in this thread:

I did this A level last year, but I just wanted to drop in and say poemanalysis.com is useful for revision. They have pages on the poems in the Edexcel specification. :smile:
