Why not take GCSE English today? Only Seven Questions!

Have a go at GCSE English Literature with the Beeb.

I got six out of seven, due to a disagreement over interpretation :-)

Would that have been the Tennyson question? You and venta both, if so.

[callmemadam.livejournal.com]

Yup! I agree with her.

Oh, that was the one I disagreed about too. But, to be honest, it was a ridiculous thing to ask as a multiple-choice question. Don't they know how to do check boxes instead of radio buttons?!?

Absolutely!

I was once at a church quiz where one of the questions was 'What is the main theme of the novel Birdsong?' I was tempted to ask how many thousand words my essay should be. I can't remember what we were supposed to put.

Tsk! Quizzes are always like that. But exams shouldn't be!

I only got five, but I would strongly contest one of those that I got wrong.

I failed on Tennyson too. Silly question.

It's not fail! As everyone agrees, silly question.
