The Three Genre Bands
Captions available
The idea
Poetry carries thirty-five to forty-five percent of the exam. Prose, meaning fiction and nonfiction together, carries the same. Drama carries fifteen to thirty percent. A candidate weak in any one of the three loses a band that cannot be recovered elsewhere.
In practice
Poetry, prose, drama: none optional.
Where people slip
Drama is the band most often neglected.
