To create a solid understanding of what
to expect and how to cope with S.A.Ts
questions.

quotes which will help ready for the
Shakespeare paper.
Try and receive a full understanding of
what is expected of you in the exams.
3. Reading The Question
It doesn’t matter if you’re doing a piece
of homework or completing an exam –
they’re all questions that test if you’ve
understood what you have read.
Always read carefully through a bit of
writing before you start to answer the
question. Remember to think ‘What is it
asking me to do?’
4. Answer In Own Words
Write things down in your own words.
Give reasons for what you have said.
Back up your reasons with quotes.
It is really important that you remember
to include a bit of all of these in your
answers. You’ll lose out if you only do 1
or 2 of them.
5. Quote From The Text
Teachers love quotes. They show that
you have read the text carefully before
you have answered the question.
Remember – stick loads of quotes in
your answer. It is vital that you
remember to include speech marks
before and after the quote, if you don’t
you may lose marks.
6. Plenary Questions
What should you always include to back
up your ideas.
Where should you put speech marks in
a quote.
What should you always remember to
think when answering a question in an
exam.

answers and include plenty of quotes with
speech marks you may be in for a good mark.
However don’t forget to remember the basic
rules for spelling, punctuation and language
features.
Always refer back to the text when answering
a question in your Shakespeare paper.
Remember to revise before any examinations
and don’t leave the revision too late where
you are probably not feeling up to doing it and
may not be giving it your full potential.
8. Homework Task
Complete a 2 page spread on these
and other revision tips.
These tips will reinforce you knowledge

that you have learnt.
