Episode 14 - We’ve Marked Thousands of GCSE Essays - Here’s What Students Get Wrong | JET

In this episode of JET: Just English Talk, Alex, Eleanor and Louis sit down to talk through the most common mistakes they see in GCSE English Literature essays. Drawing on years of classroom teaching and examiner experience, the trio break down the errors that quietly cost students marks, even when their ideas are strong. From misunderstanding assessment objectives, overloading essays with context, and trying to cram in too many ideas, to falling into the trap of “grade 9 vocabulary” and predicted questions - nothing is off-limits. Along the way, they offer practical, reassuring advice on: How to actually use the mark scheme to your advantage Why depth beats breadth in high-mark essays What examiners really mean by “context” How to structure essays without wasting time on rigid formulas Why terminology matters far less than clear thinking and explanation Whether you’re aiming to push from a 6 to a 7, or consistently hit the top bands, this episode will help you write more focused, confident, and effective GCSE English Literature essays - without overthinking or gimmicks. Perfect for Year 10-11 students, parents, and teachers who want honest, no-nonsense advice straight from the exam hall. 🔔 Subscribe & turn on notifications to conquer your academic goals! 👇 Sign up to our courses here! 👇 https://shop.myedspace.co.uk/?utm_sou...
