OCR A Level Lang/Lit English Narrative Writing and Prose Fiction: 5 Practice Exam Papers

A pack of 5 practice examination papers that follow the plot line and stylistic analysis structure of the OCR English Language and Literature A Level Paper 3 (Reading as a writer, writing as a reader) Section A and B (specification number H474).

The practice exam papers consist of both parts of the OCR Language and Literature A Level Paper 3, narrative writing and prose analysis. Both sections have a choice of two questions, as is the case the OCR examination paper.
The creative writing section contains a choice of two plot line options. Each option contains six bullet points to allow students to write a 500 opening to a narrative. Students are also asked to write a short reflection on their own writing.

The narrative writing presents a stylistic question that is appropriate to any question on the OCR English Language and Literature paper 3 syllabus: Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy, The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri, Atonement by Ian McEwan and The Great Gatsby by F Scott Fitzgerald.

Each question contains different plot lines and stylistic questions and asks students to complete a creative opening and a detailed analysis.

In the prose analysis, students are required to engage with the stylistic approach and apply it to their understanding of the text. This is an open text exam and students are expected to draw specific examples and analysis of the text.
