You Can Always Read the Form
In the exam, the poems you compare are ones you have never read. So what is there left to revise? What the anthology has to contain, in the DfE's own numbers; the comparison that is a fifth of the qualification; reading form before a single word; five fixed points in the window since 1789; two stanzas written for the sheet, compared on form alone; four moves on a poem you have never read. Eight terms to define, a model comparison sentence, and the misconceptions that cost marks.
