After discounting all extracts and questions used in AQA’s sample and past papers, and considering the length of extract and question styles used by AQA, I came up with six potential extracts and questions AQA could use this summer. This resource consists of those extracts, each with a question, in the style of the AQA GCSE English Literature exam. Please note that these are purely predictions and I have no advance knowledge of the content of the exam! Included is also an additional further range of sample Romeo and Juliet exam tasks I’ve put together.

This resource would be best enlarged onto A3 and could be used during teaching this paper, before an assessment or after a marked piece of work in order for students to make improvements. This focuses solely on the reading section of Language Paper 2 and uses ‘One’s Company’ and ‘Records of a Girlhood’ (2023 exam) as its focus. It is three pages in length. The sections could be potentially highlighted by students or folded to look less overwhelming and to seem more like a bookmark style tool. This is a grid which includes the key things to remember about the reading section emphasis on the importance of the context box at the top of the extract what each question looks like (based on ‘One’s Company’ and ‘Records of a Girlhood’ (2023 exam) questions they should ask themselves for each question to help reading for meaning how to plan (or what I tell mine to do) what should be included to gain specific levels with a short example sentence openers a rough breakdown of marks for grade boundaries the mark scheme with bracketed simplification of some words for students to understand

This resource consists of a set of exam style tasks based on the Power and Conflict poems (Paper 2, Section B) in the style of the AQA GCSE English Literature exam. Each poem has three different potential questions (in the format of the exam, with the named poem featured on the page - ready for easy printing!) Please note: these are purely sample papers based on predictions relating to what could come up in the summer; I have no advance knowledge of the content of the exam this resource comprises of sample assessment questions only, not teaching resources or any preparatory or revision materials the questions can easily be edited to include your own task.

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.

After considering all extracts and questions used in AQA’s sample and past papers, and considering the length of extract and question styles used by AQA, I came up with ten possible exam tasks AQA could use this summer on ‘An Inspector Calls’. Each task consists of a pair of questions in the style of the exam, so there are twenty tasks in total. The resource also includes all past exam questions on An Inspector Calls. Please note that these are purely predictions and I have no advance knowledge of the content of the exam!
