Resource overview

This subject report is listed under English A in the 2013 examination archive. The catalogue session is November 2013. The information below helps you identify the document before opening the complete PDF. Subject, year and session labels come from the archive catalogue; the original cover remains the reference if a label differs. A file is not automatically suitable for your current syllabus simply because its subject name matches.

For coursework research, read this document as a reference rather than a template to submit. Notice how the question, evidence and explanation connect. If a paired commentary or subject report is available, compare it with the original work instead of assuming a polished essay received a particular mark. Historical examples may belong to an earlier assessment framework.

Very low scores tended to reflect the choice of an inappropriate or unworkable topic as much as a lack of effort or a poor grasp of what was required. Some very detailed supervisors' reports were submitted, containing a lot of useful information for the examiner. There appeared to be a real and growing appreciation amongst supervisors of the impo rtance of these for a holistic appreciation and history of the essay. There were virtually no blank or incomplete reports in evidence and levels of contact time recorded were also, for the most part, appropriate.
