I do CIE english, its mark scheme is quite picky I must say. for language, the format is pretty much the same, there isn't much to do for preparation but for literature it will be based on what prose, poetry and drama you choose and you must know all three very well before taking the exam. There is one english language exam and 3 literature exams. you should know how and what to pick out from text very well.
