A free, printable revision guide for Pearson Edexcel GCSE English Language (1EN0), Component 1: Fiction and Imaginative Writing.

Twelve topics, each on two pages: sixty seconds of the skill, the facts to know, key words, then a real-tariff question answered and marked exactly as Edexcel marks it, including the rule that caps a language-or-structure answer at Level 1 if it only covers one of the two.

Four original fiction extracts, a full response marked line by line at the strong and the weak end side by side, a page of what Edexcel’s examiners saw students get wrong, and a full practice paper, Section A and Section B together, worth all 64 marks, with marked answers.

Built from Pearson Edexcel’s own specification (1EN0, Issue 6, August 2024) and its Component 1 papers, mark schemes and examiners’ reports (June 2022 and June 2023). No Edexcel question, extract or mark scheme wording is reproduced: every extract, question and sample answer was written fresh for this guide.

Free to print as a class set, or put on your school’s own system. This is the first edition, and we would like to hear from you if you teach Edexcel GCSE English Language and spot anything that should change.
