I did the GCSE in 2024, my questions were; for an inspector calls it was about Mr birling (I can't remember the full question), and for Romeo and Juliet it was on the relationship between Romeo and Juliet and the extract was between Capulet and Tybalt when Tybalt sees Romeo at their house and calls him a villain (I can't remember the full scene, sorry!). I didn't do Jekyll and Hyde though, I'm sorry

Hi! This is what I've been told came up in 2024
Question A: R&J May 2024
Act 3, Scene 1 - Lord Capulet
Question B: R&J May 2024
Anger

Questions A/B: An Inspector Calls May 2024
Selfishness or Eva Smith

I don't think I got told the one for Jekyll and Hyde.
I actually asked ChatGPT for predictions for these texts this is what it said: (although it talks about the most obvious themes that I think they won't do)

Predictions for 2025+
1️⃣ The Carew Murder Case (Chapter 4) How Stevenson presents violence or Hyde’s evil
2️⃣ Dr Lanyon’s Decline (Chapter 6) How Stevenson presents science and horror
3️⃣ Dr Jekyll’s Public Persona (Chapter 3) How Stevenson presents Jekyll’s duality or secrecy
Most Likely 2025+ Second Questions:
🔹 How does Stevenson present secrecy in Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde?
🔹 How does Stevenson explore the conflict between science and religion?
🔹 How does Stevenson present the idea of duality in the novel?

Most Likely 2025+ Extract Questions:
🔹 Act 2, Scene 2 How does Shakespeare present Romeo’s feelings for Juliet?
🔹 Act 3, Scene 5 How does Shakespeare present conflict between Juliet and her parents?
🔹 Act 5, Scene 3 How does Shakespeare present fate in the final moments of the play?

Most Likely 2025+ Questions:
🔹 Eric Birling’s Importance How does Priestley present Eric in the play?
🔹 Social Class & Inequality How does Priestley present social class?
🔹 The Role of Women How does Priestley present the treatment of women?
🔹 The Ending of the Play How does Priestley use the ending to reinforce his message?
