It's crucial that you know when each English exam is so that you are scheduling you're revision appropriately, but also so that you bring the RIGHT BOOKS with you on THE RIGHT DAYS!!!
So.....the dates are:
18th May - English Literature 1- Short Stories and Of Mice and Men
22nd May - English Literature 2- Poetry - Moon on the tides poetry cluster and unseen poetry (a poem you get in the exam paper)
2nd June - English Language - THE BIG ONE!!
One thing that's really useful is that the killer exam, the English Language, is after the half term break, which gives you plenty of time to get some of that extra revision in. Make sure you timetable plenty of revision into that week - it could make all the difference!
Please remember that for the exams, you will have to bring your own CLEAN COPIES of the texts that you have been given by your English Teacher. If they are not clean, or you have written in them, it is your responsibility to fix the issue. Either make sure you teacher knows in advance of the exam that your text has writing in it and they will change it for you, or if you have written in it yourself, it is your responsibility to buy a new one and return this one to the school. If you arrive at the exam with a book that has notes in it, and the invigilator notices this, your exam will be invalid, with the potential for the rest of your exams with that exam board to be invalid as well. Don't make the wrong choice! Make sure you read the copy you have at least one more time before the exam - it's good revision but it also makes sure you're checking your copy for any notes. If you are in any doubt, see your English teacher well before the exam. If you turn up to the exam without a copy of the book, we are unable to provide you with one and you will have to sit your exam without it - NOT a position you want to find yourselves in! So get organised now, and then you have nothing to worry about!
