These resources are the product of my retirement! After years as a teacher, I tutored. Tackling different exam boards, texts and aspects of English I had to develop lots of materials, which I'm hoping will help those of you still at the chalk face.

Eduqas/WJEC An Inspector Calls 23 exam questions with extract references

(1)
23 extract-based exam questions. As the text is still copyright protected, I’ve just made reference to the extract using the Heinemann edition for page reference, and the initial and end quote. The edition I’ve used has the same page numbers as the Hereford edition of the play, and was first published in 1992. The questions cover character and themes. They should provide lots of useful revision and exam practice.
