How is 0475 Paper 3 Drama (Open Text) set out?: 45 minutes, 25 marks: one question from a choice of two, both on the same single set play. Open book.
What does "open book" permit on Paper 3?: A clean copy of the set text. Annotations, highlighting and underlining are not allowed, nor are editions with extensive study notes or facing-page explanations.
Which papers can Paper 3 be paired with?: Paper 3 is never taken alone: it pairs with either Paper 4 Unseen or Component 5 Coursework. The alternative route is Paper 2 Drama on its own.
Which assessment objective does an open book help most?: AO1, because quotations can be located and checked. It does not help AO2 understanding or AO4 personal response, which must be worked out in advance.
How do you prepare to use an open text efficiently?: Pre-select key passages by theme and character, for example each character's opening position, the turning point, and the resolution, so exam time is not spent searching the play cold.
Is Paper 2 or Paper 3 the closed-book drama paper?: Paper 2 is closed book (two plays from memory). Paper 3 is open book (one play, clean copy).
