Assessment

Two exams account for 80% of the total mark. Paper one looks at Shakespeare/Webster and Rossetti. Paper two looks at Carter and the Gothic. The assessment objectives are very similar to GCSE with the addition of AO4, comparison, and AO5, critical interpretation. There is also a coursework element work 20% that allows you to try and write a scene in a play and to compare two texts that you have really enjoyed.
