Paper 1 explores one poetry and one prose text from a set list - one of which must have been written before 1900 - alongside a Shakespeare text. The examination will include an unseen extract and will involve comparison of unseen with previously studied material. Paper 2 will allow students to work with open book on their set texts taken from a specified time period - in this case post 1945 - and will also involve comparison with unseen material. Texts include prose, poetry and drama. The Independent Critical study allows students to produce a researched piece on two texts of their choice on which they have to produce independently a 2500 word essay.
Grade 6 or above in GCSE English Literature and Grade 6 or above in GCSE English Language.
