Orwell’s 1984 - tell me if you or your children studied this please?

[Tinysoxxx]

Help needed on when it was studied please mumsnetters.

I need:

1. level of study eg. Gcse/higher
2. year of exam
3. subject eg drama or English Literature
4. board eg AQA, if known

Thank you

p.s. if anyone knows how I can find out when/where this was studied historically too that would be great.

I studied it in the third year of secondary school, so not for GCSE, the year before we started them. This would have been around 1987 in London.

I did it for GCSEs in 2004/2005. English literature, don't know what exam board though.

In English, not drama.

Studied for O level. Actually took the exam in 1984!

1. A level
2. 1992

3.English lot

1. Can't remeber!

Never studied it, but read it when I was about 13. This was back in the late 60s when we used to read books. I don't remember ever seeing it among the books we studied at school.

Yes at A level

Year 1985

English Literature

Nope. Didn't read it as a kid.
Did AQA English in mid 90s. Got a C.
Read it as an adult though, and was horrified.

Studied it in 1984/85 for A level English literature at 6th form but don't know which board.

Late 80s, English lit, A level iirc.

1. gce ‘o’ level
2. 1983
3. english lit
4. sorry, no idea!

I'm a teacher. My Year 8s do a unit on dystopian literature and look at extracts from 1984. We don't read the whole thing though.

I don't ever remember studying it as a child - and I took English up to A Level.

I just googled it out of interest to see if there was any information about when it was studied in schools. Apparently it is too offensive and upsetting to be studied by students at Northampton University.

1987 A level either JMB or AEB board I think

O level English Lit, 1982, Joint Matriculation Board.
I think my children all read it in year 9, so not for an exam.

English Lit GCSE mid-90s.

3rd year (y9) in the days of olevel. Read it in 1984 - we were all a bit freaked out by that.

Studied it in English. I have a feeling it was for GCSE (1997). But it might have been before that in year 9.

I remember doing that and Animal Farm in about year 9/10. 1990?

English Literature GCSE 1994. Would have the exam board listed in my National Record of Achievement 😄 Possibly AEB or SEG

Didn't study it for O level, but read it in 3rd year of secondary school. About 1985.

GCSE English Literature 1996

My y8 DD has just read the first chapter as part of their study of dystopia in English. I read it in Y9, (early 90s) but just by choice, we didn't study it at school.

I’m a teacher and have taught this recently to S5, Higher pupils.
