You need to memorise which poems compare well with other poems in your cluster. A good way to revise is on here, just go to the GCSE tab then click GCSE english literature and narrow your search by clicking on poetry etc then aqa and so on. Also know the basic techniques:

language choices
simile
metaphor
enjambment
plosive sounds
rhyme etc etc

Hope this helps in some way, if you have any other questions just ask!!
