1. Dear Team IGCSE Centre,
   Is there any rule at the AS level for 8695 Language and Literature (Drama, Poetry and Prose) where we have to answer ONE passage question and ONE essay question?

   • Hello Dhruv,

     Upon checking both the subject syllabus and specimen paper, in Paper 1 Writing, Section A is now compulsory and it requires candidates to write a shorter piece of writing and then reflect on this, while for Section B, it remains as three optional questions. Candidates will choose one question from three categories: imaginative/descriptive, discursive/argumentative or review/critical.

     In Paper 2 Drama, Poetry and Prose, you are required to answer two questions in the examination, each from a different section of the question paper.

     We suggest that you download the subject syllabus here: https://www.igcsecentre.com/cambridge-international-as-a-level-syllabuses/ and the specimen paper here: https://www.igcsecentre.com/as-a-level-past-exam-papers/ for reference.

     We hope this helps. Thank you.

2. Hello!
   I have a question whether we will write two papers at AS level and 2 papers in A level or do we write all the papers in A level?

   • Hello Mia,

     It will depend if you’re taking the staged assessment route where you take the Cambridge International AS Level in one examination series and complete the final Cambridge International A Level at a subsequent series or if you plan to take all papers of the Cambridge International A Level (AS Level papers and A Level papers) course in the same examination session at the end of your course.

     Thank you.

     However, the mark schemes are prepared by CAIE, the exam board – not us. Kindly contact them directly at https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/ for this matter.

   • Hello Reedhay,

     Please kindly read our suggestions below:

     We suggest that you start your revision as early as possible. Highlight the important facts that you think could be on the test (you should refer to the latest syllabus on what is expected during exams here: https://www.igcsecentre.com/cambridge-igcse-subjects-syllabuses/). You can then use the past exam papers (https://www.igcsecentre.com/cambridge-igcse-past-exam-papers/) as your revision. Start with the latest papers as they have the newest syllabus format and continue with the older ones date back from 5 to 10 years. Then, revise on the most common mistakes that you always seem to make. Pay attention to the most common mistakes you always seem to make. Make notes and revise them, so you can avoid making the same mistakes in your actual exam.

     We hope this helps.

5. Dear IGCSE Centre,
   I needed some advice. In AS Level Language and Literature in English (8695) for examination in 2021, we are given a choice of two questions out of three sections in Literature. Would it be advisable to do Poetry and Drama or Prose and Drama? I am asking as I have not kept up to date with prose (Small Island) as much as I have with Drama (All My Sons) or Poetry (Songs of Ourselves Volume 2)

   • Hello Dhruv,

     You are free to choose the sections that you are most comfortable with. As you start revising, focus on how authors’ choices of language and literary methods shape meaning. You should develop a line of argument in response to the question, developing points to a conclusion.

     We hope this helps.
