About GCSE English
GCSE English sharpens the skills you use everywhere – reading closely, writing clearly and shaping ideas for a specific audience and purpose. Our interactive quizzes turn revision into fast, focused practice so you can learn little and often, track progress and build exam confidence.
Start with audience awareness in Audience and Purpose, then learn to spot viewpoint and Bias. Tighten sentence accuracy in Grammar, and practise word power in Emotive Language. Each 10-question quiz gives instant feedback and helpful hints, making it easy to revisit tricky areas.
Use the quizzes on any device – ideal for quick top-ups between lessons, targeted practice on weaker topics, or warm-ups before mock exams. Repeat a quiz after a few days and watch your scores climb as methods and terminology stick.
See the official Government guidance: GCSE English language and GCSE English literature.
