@@500cherry its acc so easy for plath do 2 quotes per poam 1 imagery 1 poetic technique and u will be fine for that, comparative doesnt meed quotes and ours is hamlet thats gonna be a struggle
No problem at all, happy to help! So glad the English exam went well for you, and best of luck with the rest of them too ☺🤞☘ - Gabrielle from Studyclix
I would disagree with the Gertrude and Ophelia Q, for the reason that a) there is only one viable way in which they could be asked - how their characters impact the play. And that came up in the mock papers so obviously there would be problems there. As for themes, they will never ask a straight theme Q because it's not even a Q at that point - it's you spewing off what you know about that theme. They *could* ask you on how they are developed in the play, but that's different and the only way they could reasonably do that is through the theme of revenge. Claudius and Hamlet are both very likely to come up. I would consider looking at the D2023 Macbeth Q on his decisions throughout the play. It's a perfect Q for either Claudius or Hamlet, especially considering hardly anyone sat it. They'd obviously throw in some small change but essentially the same Q.
Thank you for your comment! Based on our analysis, we have found that leading women of Shakespearean dramas have come up as their own questions (2018 for King Lear, 2014 for Macbeth etc) so we believe there is a reasonable chance that students will be asked about Gertrude and Ophelia. Something appearing on a mock exam is not a guarantee that it won’t appear on the state exam, so we still think it’s worth students’ time having something preprared for this regardless. Overall, this video only outlines our educated guesses for what may come up on the exam, so you’re right that students should still revise the characters Claudius and Hamlet. 😊
For the Comparative, either if I choose the 70 marks or 30+40 marks, how many topics do I need to do? For example the topic of Financial struggles, religion , gender, social expectation and etc...
No worries, the other poets might still come up! These are just our guesses for what you might see in the exam, nothing is 100% guaranteed to be on the paper ☺ - Gabrielle

This was helpful thanks but I wanna ask is this for ordinary level or higher level
Glad to hear you found this video helpful! It's for higher level. 😊 - Gabrielle from Studyclix
@@StudyclixIreland can I have predicted topics for ordinary level English
No sylvia plath and no macbeth?
Hello! This predictions video is for the 2024 exams, which will have Hamlet as a single text question ☺ - Gabrielle
@@StudyclixIreland Ok yeah Im cooked i never did Hamlet
@@TheDumbellEnjoyer Your teacher never taught you Hamlet?
@@bencered Nope only Macbeth
@@TheDumbellEnjoyer Yeah that's fine, you'd be using it for the comparative. You should have one text which is used for the Single Text question.
Strange, we didn’t do any hamlet in our school, macbeth instead do perhaps it’s the same theme but with Lady Macbeth for power and women
Are you in fifth year
r u sure this is for 2024? you might be finished
@@ruanvonderdecken1771 nah 6th, we got single text Frankenstein, comparative, a picture of Dorian gray, Maradona and macbeth

i have only studied heaney am i okay?
Hello! It might be a good idea to also revise some other poets, as Heaney isn't 100% guaranteed to come up ☺ - Gabrielle
What do i do if my teacher was so bad she didn't do heaney, hopkins or ni chuilain ...
