There is, in the Explorative Study, a logical and controlled argument and the candidate makes good use of critical terms, but occasionally points are unclear. There are some instances of detailed exploration of language and structure but some could have been developed further. In terms of AO3, the candidate cites critical views to develop his own argument but he does not analyse these views, so Band 6 has not been reached. The candidate shows a good understanding of contextual issues and there are flashes of perception regarding the effects of context. The Creative Critical piece has some minor errors in expression but engages quite well with the critical context around the play.

AO1 /6 5 5 AO4 /12 10 9 TOTAL /80 Centre Marks Standardised Marks 69 62 Comments: A good (if rather brief) folder. Occasionally there was some lack of fluency in expression, but there was perceptive and detailed analysis of language and structure. There was very little discussion of Antony and Cleopatra and so Band 4 is the highest that can be awarded for the first part of AO3. However, the candidate does explore interpretations by other readers, which would take it to Band 6. Thus, a ‘best fit’ is top Band 5. There is clear evidence of perceptive understanding of generic and social contexts. The CCR too occasionally lacks fluency and there is not quite enough engagement with the text to merit a higher mark in the band. Really, the piece is too insubstantial.

Detailed analysis of language and structure. Outstanding engagement with interpretations by other readers. Confident, perceptive sense of context. CCR has a very well-sustained register and excellent engagement with the critical context of the play

Could have explored more features of language and structure. Makes useful comparisons between the texts but there is very little engagement with interpretations by other readers. Intelligent appreciation of contextual issues. The CCR shows lively engagement with the text in its critical contexts and the register is appropriate and well-sustained.

The candidate could have done a little more analysis of language and structure. There is excellent linking of the two plays but sometime there could have been fuller engagement with interpretations by other readers. The CCR is well- sustained, although the register is slightly stilted for a conversation.
