Points to note • Literature and Language are now equally weighted, as of
this year either can be listed on applications.
• There are no tiers of entry – EVERYONE sits the same exam papers.
• At Lord Grey we have differentiated texts for Literature to assist with access and to support higher grades.
• There is no coursework element.
• The Spoken Language component does not count in the final mark BUT does have its own line on the exam certificate.
• A grade 9 will be determined after all exams are marked. The top slice will be allocated this grade.

What will the exam look like- component 2?
You will have six sections of questions to respond to. The examiner will judge as to whether you understand the text, can recognise the techniques used to show the writer’s point of view and how confidently you compare the first text with the ideas of the second text. You will also be expected to consider the contextual relevance for both texts- how is the time that the text was written important?
