Assessment

The assessment of the OCR A Level in English Literature is split into three components: two examined components each worth 40% of the qualification and one non-examined assessment component worth 20%. The Drama and poetry pre-1900 examination covers three pre-1900 texts: Shakespeare, drama pre-1900 and poetry pre-1900. The comparative and contextual study component covers two prose texts and one unseen text. The non-examined assessment component covers three post-1900 texts: one prose, one poetry and one drama including one post-2000 text.
