Our method has been designed by an experienced Subject Leader, AQA marker and Specialist Leader in Education to ensure that every sentence you write does a job, both revealing your expertise to the examiner and gathering marks.
Every paragraph across both papers should always include these crucial elements: address the question, use precise evidence, and analyse the writer's method with The Formula.
If you follow the advice in this app, you will begin to write focused and confident analysis, sound more mature in your writing, and be ready to achieve a great English Literature grade at GCSE.
