Yeah! I'm doing both, have no predictions though I really hope the question isn't character based. Again, I imagine the unseen will be contextual in some way. I hope the form is good though.

what do you reckon the unseen text?

How do you revise OCR. I'm so lost and literally have no clue what I'm doing

Thank for creating the thread.

A nice tool for practicing for English Lit and English Language here: https://www.tilf.io

The way it works is simple: you add in the question, select the mark scheme and start typing your answer and it gives you feedback on what to improve and the grade based on the exam board you chose. Then you just keep improving the essay until you get the grade you want.

It works with AQA and other exam boards + it works on all questions for macbeth, inspector calls .. Hope that helps!
