Tips on English Literature? :/ - I have the exam in a few weeks (Macbeth, An Inspector Calls, Christmas Carol, Poetry love and relationships) and I'm pretty scared, tips on going from B's to more A's/A*'s?

Make character profiles and know the order of events inside out. Have synonym lists of words you use regularly so you don't repeat yourself; and do past papers where your teacher proof reads them so you can get advice on how to improve :smile: Hope this is what you're looking for :smile:

For character profiles do you mean character analysis with key quotes for them?
And for the higher levels i have to include all language structure and form in my answers?

That's good! Yes, character profiles have quotes in for the characters, I also included where the character is important in which scene and adjectives to describe their personality. Yes you'll have to include those too for the higher papers :smile:

I didn't go to college and chose an apprenticeship instead, so I don't have any plans to go to uni in the near future but I would like to go at some point :smile:

Hey everyone,

I've noticed a few people repping my OP, and I thought I'd better just put it out there that I am no longer updating this thread, but I have a new one where I am updating everyone on my studying. So, if you want to see that, you can follow the link below:
