English Literature....low scoring trend

CE 2011:
English Literature-I: Performance of the candidates was just an average. Only 11 present candidates got between 60-64% marks. 36 percent candidates obtained between 44-59% marks, 32 percent candidates secured between 33-43% marks and 21 percent failed in the subject. Candidates should review their efforts in the areas i.e. in-depth knowledge, Idiomatic approach, authentic/classic critics, quoted references, and critical comments on relating story for better performance.

English Literature-II: Analysis of Answer scripts showed that only 13 percent candidates got between 60-79% marks, 31 percent obtained between 44-59% marks, 32 percent secured between 33-43% marks and 23 percent candidates failed in the subject. Correct English Idioms, Sentence Structure, comprehension and specific criticism are required for forming an effective answer. The long essay type answers must have a proper introductions descriptive/specific main body and a conclusion. Candidates must focus only on a question and add quotations from the text, where required.

from where to study these trends ?

I would say that whether it is low scoring subject or not, you should opt it if you are literature loving person.

The trends mentioned in above comment shows that those who have opted this have merely provided the right criticism.

Remember, your style and written impression matters a lot. If you can't write impressively, then you must run away from it

In order to prepare this subject what you have to do?
Read novels, short stories, dramas, poetry... Sounds fun.. At least to me
And at the end a book or two on literary theory and criticism. That's it

BTW: If you love literature, this would be the easiest subject comparing if you do read some criticism and literary theory

I agree with you, but don't they actually let marks exceed above 33_35?

English Lit is a low-scoring subject i agree

Literature is not a scoring subject because it always demands improvement. No matter how good is ur expression.There's always room for more eloquent and pretty ways of saying things.
