Examination Rules and Procedures

• Students are to arrive at school timeously and should be at the examination venue 10

minutes before the start of the examination. Latecomers will not be granted extra time to

complete any examinations.

• Students are to ensure that they report to the correct venue and are to wait outside the

examination venue until called to be seated by the invigilator.

• A doctor’s certificate must be handed in to Ms Noonan if a student is absent from an examination, otherwise a “zero” will be given. The examination will still need to be written on the student’s return to school.

• Students must wear full school uniform for all examinations, including practicals. Offenders

will be brought down to Ms Noonan at the end of the examination to receive a debit.

• School bags must be placed in the student’s locker or in a designated place in the

examination venue. Students may not have any books, notes, iPads, iPods, apple watches

or other electronic devices with them during the examination.

• Cell phones must be clearly labelled with the owner’s name, switched off (not on silent)

and placed on the teacher’s desk.

• No eating or drinking is allowed in the examination venue. Students are permitted to have

a transparent bottle of unflavoured, still water.

• Stationery must be placed in a transparent container or plastic bag and no borrowing will

be allowed. Cell phones may not be used as calculators. Scientific, non-programmable

calculators may only be used if specified in the examination instructions. Memories of

calculators must be cleared.

• No “tippex” may be used on answer scripts.

• No communication (verbal or non-verbal) is allowed between students during the

examination.

• Students are not to ask the invigilator any questions during the examination. Any concerns

can be addressed with the examiner after paper and will considered in marking.

• No student will be permitted to leave the examination venue prior to the end of the

examination.

• Toilet visits are strongly discouraged. Students should make use of the toilet before the

start of the examinations. Should a student use the bathroom during the examination,

they will be accompanied by a staff member, where possible, and the invigilator will record

the time on the student’s answer script and sign it.

• Prior to the start of the examination, there will be 10 minutes reading time. No writing or

highlighting may be done during reading time.

• Invigilators will record the start and end time of the examination on the board. Students will be given a verbal warning by the invigilator 5 minutes before the end of the examination. Students will not be dismissed before the full time allocated for the examination is up.

• Answer sheets, examination papers and any rough-work paper will be taken in at the end

of the examination session.

• Students may not read a book once they have finished writing.

• Students must move quickly and quietly away from the examination venue when they are

dismissed, as other examinations may still be in progress.

• Students may have one or two examination sessions per day. They should be collected

from school when they have finished their examinations.

Date: Wednesday 31st May

Length: 2 Hours

Session 1

This paper will consist of two essay questions.

Question One will test the candidates’ ability to discuss the novel and the drama (and any

enrichment material) AND EXPLORE HOW the texts reflect a central issue.

Novel: To Kill a Mockingbird

Drama: The Crucible

Enrichment: Short stories and excerpts from ‘ A Journey into Darkness’

Question Two will test the candidates’ ability to analyse an unseen poem and link the meaning/ intention

of the unseen poem and their knowledge of the poems we have studied to a central issue. Knowledge of

poetic techniques is essential. THE FOCUS HERE IS ON THE ‘HOW’ RATHER THAN THE ‘WHAT’.

Each of the essays COUNT 100 MARKS. Do not spot!

Each answer should take the form of a rigorously argued and thoroughly substantiated essay.

Please note that the quality of your style of writing, the structure of your argument, and the skill

and appropriateness of your use of quotations will be assessed.

Revise S.I.R AND THE STRUCTURE, STYLE AND REGISTER OF A LITERATURE ESSAY.
