Are we talking "Pearson Edexcel International GCSE in English Language (Specification B) (4EB1)"? If so, then a description of the way it's assessed is below (from the specification):

"• Section A – short- and long- answer questions related to two previously unseen text extracts; up to a total of 40 marks.
• Section B – one 30-mark directed writing task, based on the ideas presented in the source texts involving a given audience, form or purpose.
• Section C – one 30-mark writing task, from a choice of three (discursive, narrative, and descriptive).
• The total number of marks available is 100.
• The assessment duration is 3 hours."

Note that there are no "seen" extracts - just "unseen".
