Revising

​

 

It's a myth that you can't revise for English Language! You know exactly what the ten questions will be. The skills (or assessment objectives) you need to include in each question remain the same, and that's what you need to revise. The only thing that changes are the reading sources.

​

Top Tips

 

1. Know what's being assessed 

​

Each question has certain skills that get you the marks. You must know what these are. Click here for a list of all the assessment objectives for Paper 1 and Paper 2. 

   

​

2. Read the mark schemes

​

The mark schemes list all the assessment objectives and have examples of answers at each level. The newer ones (from Nov 2018 onward) are colour coded to show you what the skills look like in an answer. You can find them on the Practice Papers pages of this website.

​

​

3. Watch videos

​

There are video tutorials for each question on this website and on the Links page. Watch a few to find a teacher who you like and can understand the best. You can pause the videos to make notes as you go along, or just listen multiple times to let the information sink in.
