Can I use AI to create analysis for English literature?

In my recent mocks I've been consistently getting 7s and 8s, and I feel like no matter how much self- revision I do i can't get any higher than this

Ideally I'd like a grade 9, so i was thinking about using chatGPT to make top-level analysis for me which I'd remember and then copy in the exam (making adaptions where needed so it links to the question)

Remembering them shouldn't be too much of an issue but i was wondering if I'd be marked down/ potentially even disqualified for using copied work because I dont want to go to all the effort, just to find out right before the exam that I can't use the remembered pieces of analysis

Do aqa do checks when marking the gcse to see if its a copied source, any if so will I be penalised for it?

I don't think you get penalised for memorising passages for exams but I think it's better if you only memorise small ideas and weave them in through your work rather than entire essays. Also, oftentimes people get higher grades in their actual GCSEs than mocks. My sister got two 6s in her y11 mocks but ended up with a 8 and 9 for Lit and Lang respectively.

Yeah that's probably a better idea, thank you!

Hey! Did you end up doing that? I was thinking of doing so too but I'm scared I'll end up getting disqualified. Of course, I'll paraphrase and just weave in the ideas, but I don't know if that's okay to do.

Yes I did in the end, I ended up getting a 9 in literature! I would use chatGPT to come up with the analysis, and then I would reword it to make it sound more natural. I memorised my version of the analysis and then in the actual exam, I would adapt parts of it so that it fit to the question.
Good luck!

Ok thank you so much, that's such a relief to hear :smile:

) Hopefully I can end up with a 9 too, first lit exam tomorrow!

Hi, sorry to ask again a yr after😭, but do you know the prompt you would ask chatgpt? like e.g. analyse the character or something

I tried to specify the general theme I wanted chatGPT to talk about, and then I included grading criteria from the mark scheme to try and get the best analysis possible.
This is an example of one of the prompts I used:

Write one highly detailed analytical paragraph of one particular quote on Mr Birling in an Inspector Calls, including:
• Extremely Critical, Extremely exploratory, UNIQUE, conceptualised response to task, understanding that the writer's intent can only be speculated
•Extremely Judicious use of precise references (quotes) to support interpretation(s)
• Extremely UNIQUE in-depth Analysis of writer’s methods with subject terminology used judiciously.
• Extreme Exploration of effects of writer’s methods to create meanings.
• EXTREME Exploration of ideas/perspectives/contextual factors heavily assisted by specific, extremely detailed links between CONTEXT (especially)/text/task.
