OCR A Level English
Assessment Objectives

OCR only: OCR A Level English Language (H470) and English Literature (H472). An examination manual for an A Level English department, covering both qualifications, Language and Literature. It is about how they are assessed and how students gain marks, not how to teach the texts. Part One is board-specific and quoted verbatim. Everything after it is about the assessment.

Cover of OCR A Level English Assessment Objectives — Exam Preparation

Written for this specification. Part One is board-specific and quoted verbatim from OCR’s own document; everything after it is about how the assessment works and how students gain marks.

The assessment objectives are worded almost identically across boards and weighted differently, so this book covers OCR only. Check the board you teach before buying.
