Chief Examiner Advice for GCSE English Literature

Click on the button above to download a document with a summary of advice synthesised from Chief Examiner reports for AQA GCSE English Literature. It’s designed for students to help guide their writing in mock exams and the real thing. It’s similar to the one I put together for AQA GCSE English Language – click here to access it.

I’ve not included text-specific guidance (e.g. on Macbeth). Instead, I’ve focused on the areas that have general relevance. It’s divided into five areas…

1. Planning and Structure
2. References and Quotations
3. Writer’s Methods
4. Context and Ideas
5. What Not to Do
