What is in this test

This is a free 60-question test on the short, flexible quotations that IGCSE Literature 0475 students can use across many essay questions. Every quotation comes from the Reportcards 0475 set-text notes and is copied exactly from the text. You can take it without an account. Log in with a free account and your score is saved, with points and badges; otherwise it stays on the device you answer on.

The 60 questions are spread across these topics, so a weak text shows up as a pattern rather than as one unlucky question:

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

Which poem is the quotation "the soldier with his uniform of fire" taken from?

  1. Lament
  2. The Cockroach
  3. The Chimney-Sweeper
  4. Report to Wordsworth

Answer: Lament

The line comes from Gillian Clarke's poem Lament, where a metaphor turns burning clothing into an agonising uniform.

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.
