Hi, I'm Daisy. I am currently in year 13 studying for my A-levels and in my GCSE exams, in 2022, I achieved a grade 8 in maths and grade 9s in all of my other subjects. I spent hours making revision resources for my exams, following the specification line by line, to make sure all my resources included every bit of knowledge needed to achieve top grades. I hope these resources can help you revise effectively and save you time, I know I'd have loved to have these resources available to me.
Hi, I'm Daisy. I am currently in year 13 studying for my A-levels and in my GCSE exams, in 2022, I achieved a grade 8 in maths and grade 9s in all of my other subjects.

I hope these resources can help you revise effectively and save you time, I know I'd have loved to have these resources available to me.
This resource is my answers to questions 2, 3 and 4 of the 2020 GCSE language paper 2 exam (AQA). I completed these questions as a practice for my exams and when marked by my teacher, these answers were awarded grade 9.
I found reading exemplar pieces of work the most effective way to revise for my exams, specifically for English, this allowed me to understand exactly how I should structure my answers, how much I should write, and what I should include. In my GCSE English Language exams I achived a grade 9, scoring very close to full marks, and reading model answers massively contributed to this.
I have also attached to the document, the two extracts provided in the 2020 language paper 2 exam, which my answers are based on and have attached the actual question paper so you can see the questions I was answering.

This is the resource I made to prepare for every single poetry essay which could come up in my english literature exam, where I achieved close to full marks.
This document is 11 pages long and contains an essay plan for every single one of the 15 poems in the AQA pre-1900 love-poetry anthology, with distinct & unique points to make in essay and quotes which correspond to these points. Under each point is incredibly detailed analysis and unique insights and perspectives to put forward in an essay.
Each plan also includes a column on relevant historical context to impress examiners and exceed all assessment objectives and at the bottom of each plan is a section on comments you could make about the strucutre of the poem and unique ways to analyse the stucture.
The plans are in table format which I found so helpful when trying to memorise the points and analysis.
I spent so many hours working on this document, collating the most impressive and relevant analysis I could find across many different websites, my english lit lessons and my own interpretations all into one document.
I hope this can save hours of your time and help to massively boost your marks in the poetry section of your A-level. This document was a life-saver for me once I’d completed it.
Also, check out the other resources I’m selling, including some full model essays on the poems in this anthology which will be able to demonstrate how I structured my essays to achieve top marks.
