See this stageEnglish feels the least mechanical of subjects and is in fact one of the most. Mark schemes reward specific, teachable moves, and students who are never shown them plateau however well they read.
The most common single cause. A student describes what happens in a text rather than how the writer creates an effect, and is marked in a lower band regardless of how well written the answer is.
Strong ideas arriving in no particular order. Examiners reward a controlled argument, and structure is the most teachable thing in the subject.
Quotes dropped in to prove the text was read, rather than short and embedded and then analysed word by word. This is a specific technique and it moves grades quickly.
Creative, transactional and analytical writing are marked on different criteria. Students who write well but write the wrong thing lose marks nothing else can recover.
