A-Level Othello Exam Question Pack 2 (AQA English Literature A, 7712)
This is a new set of assessment tasks on Othello - please see my other resources for Pack 1.
A set of 13 assessment tasks, following the same structure as the AQA A Level Paper 1 (Love Through the Ages), Section A, Q1 sample materials, all on Othello. This is for the new specification (7712).
The assessments focus on the presentation of varying types of love across a range of key scenes in the play. This makes them useful as practice exam material, and/or for recapping key scenes in the play. Each task has a question based on the presentation of [aspect of love] in response to a statement, followed by an extract.
AQA Unseen Poetry Exam Papers - GCSE English Literature Paper 2 Section C
Six pairs of poems formatted to the AQA GCSE English Literature Paper 2 Section C exam paper. This pack includes six documents, each consisting of part i (a 24-mark analysis task of the first unseen poem) and part ii (an 8-mark task comparing how the poets use methods).
Very useful if your students need to practise analysing unseen poems and comparing them.
Independent Revision Booklet: A Christmas Carol
This booklet contains a series of 13 sessions, designed for students to work through ‘A Christmas Carol’ independently. Each session would last around two hours, and they can be easily broken down or adapted depending on your students’ needs. Useful for setting independent work (e.g. if a student is out of lesson), homework, or directed revision.
Students are guided through which pages to read each time (referencing a freely available online copy of the novel, in pdf form so it could also be printed) followed by questions based on comprehension and interpretation. There are then a series of other tasks to ensure students engage with the section they’ve read on a deeper level.

2025 Predicted English Lit Paper 2 exams: An Inspector Calls, Power & Conflict, Unseen Poetry (AQA)
AQA style GCSE English Literature 2 exam papers on An Inspector Calls, Power & Conflict and Unseen Poetry, based on what I anticipate might come up this year.
The unseen poems are obviously unpredictable, but this pack includes six pairs of poems that have not been included in AQA exams in the past: each has a part (i) task on the first unseen poem, which is then thematically linked to the part (ii) poem for the 8-mark comparison task.
I have no inside knowledge in terms of what will be on the exams - this is done by considering aspects such as typical extract length, question styles etc. that AQA use and eliminating anything that has already appeared on their published SAMS and past papers.
Extremely useful if you want full sets of English Literature exam papers that don’t cover past content that clearly won’t come up again!
