Hey, I got a (very unexpected but VERY welcome) A grade in English lit & lang combined AS, which I was over the moon with, as you can imagine. I love English and I'm passionate about taking it further.
However this year, we have to read 2 set texts (King Lear & Great Expectations) as well as 2 texts for a given theme (Dystopia: 1984 & Never Let Me Go) as well as any others we can read to flesh out the coursework. I've only been used to having 2 set texts a year since year 10! I really want to go for that A* this year, but I honestly find it so hard to get all the reading done, it's like I can't switch my brain off and just READ. I struggled with this for AS and didn't actually finish reading the books until around 3 weeks before the literature exam. I really don't want to go into any exams or coursework without having read all the books.
Any tips on how to balance reading and the rest of my A Levels?
