My dd has to choose either poetry or A Christmas Carol for GCSE Literature (Edexcel).
He got the same grade - High 5- in both in a recent mock with no revision for poetry (but having recently done it in class) and some revision for ACC.
If anything he favours poetry, but I'm thinking this is the harder option for a child who dislikes the subject generally!
For reference he got 7 in English Language mock paper 1.
Any thoughts on which to choose?
