When are the exams and what questions will be on them? Paper 1: Shakespeare and 19 th century novel (13th May am / 1 hr 45 mins) • There is one question on Much Ado About Nothing and one question on A Christmas Carol. • These are equally weighted and overall the exam is 40% of the final grade. • Both are extract based so the students have to write about how language has been used in the extract and then talk about the play or novel as a whole. Paper 2: Inspector Calls and poetry (21st May am / 2 hr 15 mins) • There are 3 questions: one on ‘An Inspector Calls’ and two on poetry. One poetry question is a comparison of a poem that is printed as part of the question paper with another poem chosen from the collection students have studied (not printed!); with an analysis of an unseen poem in the final question and a short comparison with another unseen poem. • These are equally weighted and overall this exam is 60% of the final grade. • There is no extract for Inspector Calls and only one poem given for the comparison. But this shouldn’t cause students to be alarmed.
