Pearson Edexcel A Level English Literature 2025 Paper 3 Qp

Get the official Pearson Edexcel A Level English Literature Paper 3: Poetry question paper from the June 2025 exam series (9ET0/03). This examiner-authored PDF contains the complete live assessment used for the 2025 A-Level qualification, including unseen comparative poetry analysis in Section A and pre- or post-1900 poetry essay questions in Section B. The paper preserves the original exam formatting, timings, mark allocations, anthology references, source booklet extracts, and prescribed-text requirements exactly as issued in the live examination.

Section A includes comparative analysis questions based on the unseen poem Cows by Laura Scott alongside anthology poems The Lammas Hireling by Ian Duhig and A Minor Role by U A Fanthorpe, exploring themes such as significant events, protection, vulnerability, memory, and human relationships. Section B contains thematic poetry essay questions across a wide range of literary periods and movements including Medieval Poetry, Chaucer, Metaphysical Poetry, John Donne, Romanticism, John Keats, Victorian Poetry, Christina Rossetti, Modernism, T S Eliot, The Movement, and Philip Larkin. Featured themes include mortality, salvation, time, suffering, impermanence, innocence, societal expectations, observation, restrictions, memory, and sensory imagery. Students can use this paper for examiner-standard poetry analysis, contextual interpretation, comparative essay practice, and timed revision ahead of the 2026 exam series.

This document is designed for Year 13 students preparing for the 2026 A Level English Literature examinations, retake candidates aiming for A/A* grades, home-schooled learners, and independent students following the Pearson Edexcel specification. It is especially valuable for students developing unseen poetry analysis, comparative interpretation, contextual evaluation, and sophisticated literary essay writing under timed examination conditions.

Teachers, tutors, sixth-form departments, revision-course providers, and parents can use this paper for timed mocks, poetry comparison workshops, anthology revision sessions, intervention planning, and examiner-style essay practice. It is particularly effective for identifying weaknesses in poetic-method analysis, contextual integration, comparative structure, and evaluative interpretation before the 2026 exam cycle.
