よくあるミス
- 1high影響する配点: 15Shakespeare and the 19th-century novel
Treating the printed extract in Paper 1 as an isolated passage, failing to trace the theme/character development throughout the wider play or novel.
回避方法: Use the extract as a 'springboard'—spend roughly 2 paragraphs analyzing linguistic patterns inside the extract, then transition to 2 paragraphs exploring how these dynamics contrast with or mirror the wider work. - 2high影響する配点: 6Contextual Integration (AO3)
Relying on pre-prepared context dumps (biographical/historical fact lists) that are completely detached from the literary analysis.
回避方法: Only introduce contextual information (AO3) when it directly explains the writer's methodology (AO2) and underlying authorial intent. - 3medium影響する配点: 12Poetry Anthology
Retelling the narrative story of the poems rather than conducting analytical evaluation of poetic methods and structural devices.
回避方法: Focus directly on how the writer uses structure, word choice, and imagery to craft meaning. Use the 'What, How, Why' framework to drive your analysis. - 4medium影響する配点: 10Decoding the Prompt
Failing to address specific keywords or boundaries in the prompt (e.g., writing generally about Macbeth instead of focusing on 'male character who changes').
回避方法: Underline prompt constraints and keywords during planning. Explicitly integrate these parameters into your introduction and every topic sentence. - 5high影響する配点: 8Unseen Poetry Comparison
Running out of time on Paper 2 Section C and completely abandoning or failing to write more than a line for the 8-mark unseen comparison question.
回避方法: Strictly partition your timing: allocate exactly 15 minutes for Question 27.2. Write two concise, direct, side-by-side comparative paragraphs focusing exclusively on methods. - 6medium影響する配点: 8Linguistic Analysis (AO2)
Quote-bombing essays with an overwhelming number of short, unanalyzed, or highly obscure quotes without deep, analytical evaluation of the language.
回避方法: Pick a smaller selection of standard, high-yield quotations and write deeply about them, unpacking multiple layers of meaning, keyword connotations, and alternative interpretations.
