I asked my teacher about it and she said that it will make no difference whatsoever. Those were her exact words. She said that as long as you are we’re explicit about your response to the question and it is obvious to the examiner which question you are answering you will be fine.
don't worry lmao it will get marked, the examiner will know which question they're talking about :smile:

Try not to worry. The examiners are specialists in their subjects. They will be able to work out which questions you have done.

Yes because by mentioning poem names etc they will know which anthology you did for example. Try to relax. If you’re not satisfied with your grade your school can always retrieve your paper back on results day to see if anything went wrong. But I’m sure you will do great! X

it's okay. you've probably mentioned the name of the poem/play or the authors (or both most likely) so they will defo know. don't worry! :biggrin:
