The name of the poet who wrote it

It is much longer overall and you are expected to write a great deal more for it than usual

It assesses only AO1 and AO2, prints both poems, and needs nothing memorised

It assesses AO3 and AO4

It uses three poems

Context about any unseen poem is always factually wrong, so it loses you marks every single time

Context is assessed only in part (a)

AO3 is not assessed here, so a context clause earns nothing and crowds out method analysis

There is no time at all

Split the time exactly equally between part (a) and part (b), giving each the same number of minutes

All on part (a)

All on part (b)

In proportion to the marks: roughly a third on part (a), the larger share on part (b)
