GCSE English Lit 2023 predictions

I’m very curious too, I do aqa all the same as you except our do Romeo and Juliet and lord of the flies!
I’ll do some research to see what’s been done before, let me know your predictions for a Christmas carol and poems!

So far, for A Christmas carol, I've seen people say that the theme may be redemption, but I haven't heard much else. And for the poems it's unlikely that it will be Bayonet Charge or London as they were the 2021 and 2022 papers. Past papers also included Ozymandias, War Photographer and Remains, so I think they will be unlikely to come up too.

Ohh I see thankyou!!! Tbh there’s been so many war poems come up in the past I kind of have a feeling it will be something different like checking out me history… god knows what we’d compare that to? Maybe London?
Redemption would be a nice question on a Christmas carol, but I think something similar has been asked in past papers?

It might have been asked before, I haven't looked the the past papers for ACC yet, i just saw another post on here saying that it might be on that theme. I'm gonna look through the past papers soon though to see what questions were asked. I'll reply again if I find anything.

London and COME also my last duchess they all talk about abuse of power from the upper class basically and control. I think there's subtle differences and similarities which could get high grades ofc
My teacher also thinks it could be about memkrh (so good) maybe the emigree or kamikaze. She was right last year so I'll revise that.

oo i'm so sorry i don't know what my brain was doing. I even said Check out me history as COME instead of COMH. So I apologise. also i was meant to say memory

I do RJ ACC and poetry anthology. RJ i'm betting is going to be about fate as it hasn't been asked in a while on the aqa papers. ACC I'd say something about the crachits and family or something character related but thats a wild guess. Power and conflict poetry my guess is that super long poems probably won't come up like My last Duchess and COTLB as it's never rlly been more than a page long and i'd assume the exam board would assume people would take too long reading it so probably something simple like London or Ozymandias. AIC is too open ended to predict, but if i were to predict id say one question would be about the inspector or Gerald. All the themes boil down to inequality and stuff like that anyway. Those are my predictions

Thanks so much for the help! What do you mean by memkrh?

My predictions are:

Macbeth - guilt (possibly focused on lady macbeth) or kingship (that would make a hard question)
A Christmas Carol - The extract will be from stave 5 (they've never done that before), with most likely question being redemption
Poetry - Identity, with checking out me history or kamikaze
I don't do An inspector Calls so obviously dont have any idea about that
