A-level English Literature B (7717) changes to specification

Published: Friday 13 Sep 2019

We’ve added a list of ‘NEA prohibited texts’ to ease the administrative process of checking texts against the exam lists. This is a reproduction of the exam set text lists structured alphabetically by author, rather than component. It doesn’t contain any new information or additional texts.

Set texts listed for the A-level exam components cannot be used for NEA, even if they will not be used in the exam. Schools/colleges are responsible for this administrative check and for ensuring the texts meet the rubrics listed in the specification.

The updated specification can be found on our qualifications pages.
