Marking criteria awareness
Understanding the assessment criteria that examiners use when marking 7707 work, allowing you to construct responses that directly address and exemplify criteria at high levels.
Real World
Top-band AQA responses on 7707 consistently integrate language and literature — a student writing about a dialect poem earns higher marks by linking phonological features to the poem's characterisation, not treating them separately.
Exam Focus
Read the mark scheme descriptors before drafting — identify which band descriptor your response currently matches and target the next band up.
