EDEXCEL GCSE English Lang & Lit Student Friendly Exam Overview & Planning Worksheet

This resource contains two one sheet overviews of the exam specification for EDEXCEL English Language and EDEXCEL English Literature. The worksheets include:

• Names, length and percentage of overall GCSE for each paper
• Content, marks and AO for each question
• Space to plan timings for each question, as well as pre-writing and proof reading

These resources are fully editable and so can be** customised** to your own students’ needs.

Included in this download are two worksheets designed to appeal to 21st century students - one for the EDEXCEL English Language exams and one for the EDEXCEL English Literature exams.

The layout helps students to easily understand the content and question type for each exam, including the marks available and which AOs are being tested.

There is space for students to write in the names of texts that they have studied (for the literature worksheet). There is also space for students to plan the time that they will spend on each question, pre-writing and proof reading.

I have used these worksheets with students as part of revision lessons before mock and final exams and found them to be really effective in getting students to understand which skills are being tested in each question as well as encouraging time management in the exam.
