GCSE/A Level (Or Equivalent) Help Offered

They're only about 7 lines each. Just to clear they're not pages long

It'll most likely be to understand them, there's no way they'll get you to remember ALL at GCSE level. Don't panic and stay awesome !

I'm not actually sure. We were given 2 books to study 15 poems at home and in lesson. I think it's towards our final grade. I'll have a look though.

who's your exam board?

You'd probably know if it was IGCSE.

for my igcse english we got a big book of around 15 poems and we just went through and annotated them all.. Don't feel you have to learn each poem off by heart. All I did was read over the poems a few times each before the exam and try to take a mental note of some of the IMPORTANT annotations I made. It should be easy enough to remember a good amount of the notes you made when the exam comes- remember, you don't need to write down EVERYTHING you noted down on the poem when you went through it (assuming you have ) so don't feel like you need to .

You've just described what we have to do. We got a book with poems and we have to learn 15.

oh right, many of mine were over a page long

We also had 10 short stories (i.e up to 10 a4 pages long) to learn too... As long as you understand the jist of the poems/stories (if you have stories to learn too) then you should be fine .

@Froggydoo; well it COULD be IGCSE then.. I'm not sure. I didn't take the gcse so I'm not sure if people who take that exam have to learn poems/stories too..

As I said above, do you have stories to learn as well? And who's your exam board?

Ah its wont be igcse then.

Haven't you done any past papers yet, or at least looked through some questions? I'm surprised you don't know your exam board

We only started it 2 lessons ago. At the moment we're looking at 2 poems and analyzing the important text.
