2023 AQA As ENGLISH LANGUAGE A MARK SCHEME PAPER 1 [7711/1: Love through the ages: Shakespeare and poetry]    


Welcome to this mark scheme which is designed to help you deliver fair and accurate assessment. 
Please read carefully all sections and ensure that you follow the requirements that they contain.
The significance of Closed Book
Examiners must understand that in marking a Closed Book exam there are examining implications. 
Candidates do not have their texts in front of them, so while it is expected that they will use quotations, it 
is also legitimate to use close textual references. They will have had to memorise quotations so there 
may be some errors which should not be over-penalised. Detailed discussions of particular sections of 
texts, apart from printed extracts, are less likely here than in Open Book exams. Instead, candidates 
may range broadly across their texts as they construct their arguments.Â
