How the marking works

Each question is marked the moment it is answered, and the explanation appears straight away. At the end you get a marked paper listing every question you missed, so the next revision session has somewhere obvious to start.

A question from this test

In Aphra Behn's "Song: Love Armed", how is the personified figure of Love constructed?

  1. A tyrannical victor who manufactures weapons from the emotional suffering of the lovers
  2. A gentle mediator who reconciles two proud aristocrats through shared domestic affection
  3. An unthinking child whose haphazard arrows strike targets without any conscious design
  4. A mournful spectator who laments the destructive violence caused by mortal ambition

Answer: A tyrannical victor who manufactures weapons from the emotional suffering of the lovers

In Behn's poem, Love sits in fantastic triumph as a despotic conqueror who arms himself using the speaker's desire and the beloved's cruelty. This leaves the speaker tormented while the beloved remains untouched.

How to use it

Sit the test once without notes and keep the marked paper. Revise only what it flags, then take it again a week later. In the exam, a quotation earns marks only when you explain the writer's choice of words, so practise turning each answer here into one sentence of analysis.
