Is this for GCSE English Literature? What exam board is this for.

The best ones to revise would be the ones that your specification requires you to know about.

Thanks, the poems that you need to know for power and conflict should be in the AQA poetry anthology. Those would be the poems that you need to know (all of them, yes even tissue if you’re studying that poem for power and conflict).

Here’s the specification for GCSE AQA English Literature: https://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/english/gcse/english-8702/specification/subject-content/modern-texts-and-poetry#Poetry

Edit: realised that you weren’t the OP, but oh well if OP is also AQA then the sand advice applies.

From what I’ve heard, it’s the hardest poem to analyse.

Yeah, the point of it is a challenge for those aiming for grade 9 to compare other poems too. I don't think AQA have or will ever ask a question about it, but they will keep it open for the comparison questions. Not sure though, so don't trust me completely.

AQA can test you on any of the poems I think, but I’ve not seen it be tested since 2018 at least (2018-2024, it doesn’t look like tissue appeared).
