Can you get grade 9 by just learning the analysis of 15 quotes? Yes, definitely.
But, for a deeper understanding, I’ll throw in an extra 5.
Does this devalue literature and reduce the exam to a game? No, it will give you a deeper appreciation of the novel. Feel free to learn more quotes.
But is the exam a game? Damn right. Might as well play it for fun, and to win. Being selective about the quotes you learn is a winning strategy, and it makes revision more fun, or at least not suck.
