aqa gcse english literature marking

Sorry I just don't understand the grade boundaries for english literature. Everyone does different texts with some schools doing some random unknown text with no resources whereas some are doing really popular texts with a million different resources. How can they make grade boundaries like this when we're all doing something different?

yeah they do I'm just saying how can they mark us all on the same boundaries when people are doing different texts so some people might have really hard texts or questions in the exam and get lower
