For AS and A-level, we'll automatically send clean copies of the anthologies for these open book exams based on your school/college entries. For GCSE exams, these are closed book, so we don't need to send you any 'clean' copies.

For GCSE digital versions, the anthologies are available on Centre Services. To find them, follow these steps:

  • Log in to Centre Services
  • Click 'Resources' then 'Assessment and training'
  • Choose 'English'
  • Select 'GCSE' from the 'Qualification' filter
  • Select 'Assessment material' from the 'Resource type' filter
  • Select '8702 English Literature' from the 'Specification' filter

Exam copies used in the summer 2023 exams can be used as classroom copies in 2024. If you need to order additional copies, please use the anthology order form. Remember, you can order additional anthologies at any point, so you don't need to worry about ordering additional spares just in case.
