How can i achieve an A* in english literature GCSE?
Well by comparing your poems the things that examiners recognise to be A* material is when you’re being original, contextualising, adding a few fancy words here and there and referring back to the question throughout the whole of your essay, ON TOP of comparing the poems themes, mood, imagery, language, construction etc. For your essays on the story you’re studying you should aim to analyse anything that you perceive to be original and add it to your essay. Something that the examiner can recognise and see these points that they have failed to recognise themselves will really impress them. Basically it’s all originality. That’s basically it all in a nutshell!
