This mini revision guide pack looks at each question in the AQA GCSE English Language qualification (both paper 1 and paper 2) and gives students tips on what they need to do in the exam. There is an exemplar question for each slide, a table showing the grade boundaries for that particular question and general guidance with how to structure their answer and how long to spend on each question. The final slide is a break down of the grade boundaries based on the AQA English Language grade boundaries from the summer examination series. I have also included a mock Paper One exam and a mock Paper Two exam. This should provide you with everything you need to help your students revise for the English Language exam. Please also take a look at my other resources. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

This mark book is based on the new specification AQA GCSE English Literature (8702) qualification with the 2019 grade boundaries. In it, I have broken the qualification down so that there is a column for each question for you to input the marks to. The mark book will then automatically generate a fine grade for each section of the paper and a separate grade for each paper overall. The mark book will then generate an overall total and fine grade for the qualification as a whole (paper one and paper two). In case you are unfamiliar with the term, a fine grade splits each grade (9-1) into three: 5a - The top end of a grade 5, almost working at a grade 6 5b - A secure grade 5 5c - The bottom end of a grade 5, almost slipping the grade 4 boundaries The grade boundaries were calculated based on the August 2019 results from the 2019 GCSE exam series. I have also included a row that works out the class average which is useful for comparing sets within the department, or for working out which question/section needs more work, or just to give the students a reference point for how well they did. This can be used as an individual mark book or for the whole department, simply copy the ‘English Literature Mark Book’ tab to replicate the mark book and all of its formulas for each class in thee year group.
