Stop stressing. What’s done is done now. You’ll find out your grade on results day and if you feel like your papers have been marked unfairly, you can appeal to the exam board.

Realistically, despite missing context is a big thing according to others. Remember the 24 marks would be distributed over multiple AOs. It is possible to access a decent mark bands, as long as you succeeded in the analysis of language and meeting the task, hence AO1. If you are scared, you are not alone, as Eng Lit is not the subject that counts largely towards university and sixth form applications, except if you are aspiring for top schools. Plus, there are two papers, and this is only one section you are worrying about. If you are confident over the rest, you would not be dropping too many marks and still can get a decent grade. Enjoy the rest of summer without panicking, as I did badly on Eng Lit and recovered from that trauma.
