23 extract-based exam questions. As the text is still copyright protected, I’ve just made reference to the extract using the Heinemann edition for page reference, and the initial and end quote. The edition I’ve used has the same page numbers as the Hereford edition of the play, and was first published in 1992. The questions cover character and themes. They should provide lots of useful revision and exam practice.

These 8 extracts (from: Speckled Band, Study in Scarlett, Hound of Baskervilles,Engineer’s Thumb, Boscombe Valley Mystery, Silver Blaze, 5 Orange Pips & Scandal in Bohemia,) all contain a mixture of language, vocabulary and information retrieval style comprehension questions. The comprehensions are suitable for introducing KS3 students to texts from pre 1914 and providing experience of the demands of the 9-1 GCSE . They focus on the more accessible, interesting sections of the Sherlock Holmes Mysteries & as such, hopefully provide an impression of the characters of Sherlock & Watson, as well as the language and setting, and the complexities of Conan Doyle’s work.
