An Inspector Calls
How does Priestley use Mr Birling to present ideas about responsibility?6 marks
Priestley makes Birling look foolish. He calls the Titanic "unsinkable", which the 1945 audience knows is wrong, so we stop trusting his view that people should only look after themselves.
4 of 6 marks (estimated)Link Birling's selfish views to Priestley's message about collective responsibility.
In short

What does the Aripsy question generator do?

It writes exam-style practice questions from your notes, with command words and marks, then checks the answer you write and gives an estimated mark, the points you hit and missed, and a tip to improve.

  • Focused question generation

    Create relevant prompts from the exact content you provide.

  • Go beyond recall

    Practise explaining relationships, causes, and examples in your own words.

  • Check and mark your answers

    Write a short answer to see estimated marks, points you earned, and points to improve.

Each part of the question tool, shown with the same notes on An Inspector Calls.
01Marking

An estimated mark and what you missed

Write your answer and check it. Aripsy compares it with the marking points for that question and shows an estimated mark, the points you were credited for, the points to review and a tip for next time.

  • Points credited and points to review, listed separately
  • Extended answers placed in a level, such as Level 2 of 3
  • An estimate based on Aripsy's marking points, not an official mark scheme

02Exam style

Command words and marks on every question

Each question uses an exam command word such as describe, explain or evaluate, and shows how many marks it is worth, so you practise writing an answer of the right length.

  • Short-answer questions for quick recall
  • An extended-response question worth 6 to 9 marks in each pack
  • Exam board and level settings, so the wording fits your course

03Model answers

Hints and model answers when you are stuck

Open a hint if you cannot start, or reveal the model answer and its marking points once you have tried. Mark a question as learned when you can answer it well.

  • A hint that points to the idea without giving the answer away
  • A model answer with the marking points it covers
  • Drafts save as you type, and learned questions are counted
An Inspector Calls
How does Priestley use Mr Birling to present ideas about responsibility?6 marks
Hint: Think about what the 1945 audience knows that Birling does not.
Model answerPriestley uses dramatic irony to undermine Mr Birling. He calls the Titanic "unsinkable, absolutely unsinkable" and says there will be no war, but the 1945 audience knows the Titanic sank and two world wars followed. That makes his selfish, capitalist view that "a man has to mind his own business and look after himself and his own" hard to trust. The Inspector argues the opposite, which carries Priestley's message that we are responsible for each other.Marking points
  • Dramatic irony undermines Birling's authority
  • His selfish, capitalist views
  • The contrast with the Inspector
  • Priestley's message about collective responsibility

Sample questions

Four exam-style questions on An Inspector Calls

An example of the questions Aripsy writes from a page of GCSE English Literature notes. Write your answer first, then open the model answer.
  1. State2 marks

    State when An Inspector Calls was written and when it is set.

    Show model answer

    It was written in 1945 and is set in 1912, in the fictional town of Brumley.

  2. Explain3 marks

    Explain why Mr Birling calling the Titanic "unsinkable, absolutely unsinkable" is dramatic irony.

    Show model answer

    The 1945 audience knows the Titanic sank in 1912, so Birling's confidence looks foolish and the audience starts to doubt his other opinions.

  3. Compare4 marks

    Compare Mr Birling's and the Inspector's views on responsibility.

    Show model answer

    Birling says "a man has to mind his own business and look after himself and his own". The Inspector argues the opposite: that we are responsible for each other.

  4. Analyse6 marks

    How does Priestley use Mr Birling to present ideas about responsibility?

    Show model answer

    A strong answer covers four points: dramatic irony, such as the Titanic and his claim that there will be no war, undermines Birling's authority; his views are selfish and capitalist; the Inspector argues the opposite; and Priestley's message is that we are all responsible for each other.

Why it works

Built on how memory works

Two of the best-studied ways to learn sit at the heart of Aripsy: testing yourself, and spacing your reviews out over time.

Written questions are recall at its hardest: you build the whole answer from memory, then see what you left out.

  • Active recall

    Pulling an answer from memory strengthens it more than rereading. Flashcards and practice questions make you recall, not just recognise.Roediger & Karpicke, Psychological Science (2006)

  • Spaced repetition

    Spreading reviews out over time keeps knowledge for longer than cramming. Aripsy brings each card back when it is due.Cepeda et al., Psychological Bulletin (2006)

  • Your own material

    Revising from your own notes and course keeps every question on what you actually need to know.

Is the question generator free?

Yes. A free account gets every practice question in each pack, with hints and model answers, plus 3 AI answer checks a day. Pro raises answer checks to 50 a day, within fair use.

How does Aripsy mark my answer?

It compares your answer with the marking points it wrote for that question and gives an estimated mark, the points credited, the points to review and a tip. It is an estimate based on Aripsy's own points, not an official mark scheme, so check it against your notes and your teacher's guidance.

What kinds of questions does it write?

Short-answer questions that use exam command words such as state, describe and explain, each with its marks, plus an extended-response question worth 6 to 9 marks in each pack.

Can I choose my exam board?

Yes. With a free account you can set your exam board and level, such as AQA, Edexcel, OCR, IB or AP, so the wording and marks fit your course.

Should I check the questions and model answers?

Yes. AI-generated study materials can contain mistakes, so compare important facts and model answers with your original notes before you rely on them.
