AQA English literature paper 2 2023

I forgot to paragraph my unseen poetry 24 mark question, I just wrote one paragraph with ideas within it. How bad is this for my overall mark? What mark out of 24 am I capped at because of this?

My Last Duchess was quite surprising, in all honesty. I compared it to Charge of The Light Brigade. I spoke about how power ultimately leads to tragedy (however most people I've spoken to decided to do Ozymandias or London which makes sense). Unseen poetry was quite difficult, especially since I did P&C instead of L&R. However, I spoke about the speaker's belief that love is unconditional and that whilst hardship arises it is for the best. The comparison question was actually my second time doing it, but was especially similar to one of the Lang questions so I just used what I knew from that and compared like-for-like.

The lack of paragraphing might affect clarity and organization, but marks mainly depend on your analysis and understanding. There's no fixed cap due to formatting; if your content is strong, you could still score well. I see you posted this some time ago, how was it for you?

Btw, for future exams, if you wanna simulate a grade, you can use this tool: https://www.tilf.io
It gives you a grade and feedback for your essays based on AQA and it matches the exact questions you had. You can use it to practice and get the grade you want
