Does anyone know what war poem appeared on the 2024 GCSE paper?

I am a year 10 student and would like to know what poem I should be revising about

Just because kamikaze came up in 2024 exams doesn’t mean you ‘should’ revise it. I know they reuse gcse papers for the next year 11 mocks so I’m assuming your trying to get an unfair advantage.

It was about how the people affected by conflict are presented

Do I have to memorise every poem word for word?

No no, you need to learn quotes for each (unless you’re running seriously out of time with your revision) and know and be able to analyse structural points for each

No, many people use previous poems to gauge what is more likely to appear in the next year so they can effectively revise. There is a very low chance that kamikaze will reappear since it was used last year so someone may prioritise other poems above it

No absolutely not i would memorise 5 very deeply and use them but try and remember atleast 2 quotations and analysis for each poem.however if you get stuck just make up analysis in the exam
