Which parts of the common module rubric haven't been tested yet/prediction for common mod essay? (1 Viewer)

Does anyone know what NESA hasn't used from the rubric statement for the common module yet?

 

[Trial&Error]

I feel like this is kind of a difficult question. There’s only so much they can ask for common module (other modules are more unpredictable I think).

As long as you know how to answer “how, what and why” for the following using your knowledge on the text or your memorised essay, you should be good:

affect on modern audience
affect on you as a reader
show individual human experience
Show collective human experience
Show anomalies, paradoxes, inconsistencies
show human motivations
Show human qualities and emotions
show the specific form, mode and stylistic features of your text (they may specify for e.g. How does the use of dramatic devices in The Crucible allow….)

Be sure that if one of these is specified, you can base your entire essay around it. For example if the question asks about inconsistencies, then each if your body paragraphs should be about inconsistencies.

Once you’re confident in addressing each of these individually, you can pretty much address them if they come together in a question for e.g. “To what extent does the exploration of paradoxes in human behaviour reveal deeper human motivations.”

And you can do the same for other module, but I’ve found they reveal less information than common module, so they’re less predictable.

Hope this helps
