How do I revise for English Literature A-level?

here's how i revise for english literature which got me an A for as;
i'm doing the OCR exams too, and what i do is structure my essays in a way that includes ALL the AO's. for example, if AO3 is 30%, equivalent to 9 marks, whilst i'm writing my essay i would include exactly 9 points on context to ensure i've got every mark. same with the others, if it's 20% AO1 (5 marks) i would make sure i'd mention quotes/themes/etc 5 times, so this could be once in the introduction, twice in my first paragraph, etc etc. since this is how the examiners mark your exam, they will know exactly where to give your marks. DONT waffle, only talk about what links to the AO's.
for actual revision i make mind maps on theme quotes and character quotes, HOWEVER don't just write the quote, here's how i set up mine:
AO1- the quote and a theme
AO2- a language technique that the quote shows e.g rhetorical question
AO3- context for the quote
AO4/AO5- interpretations/comparisons.
so for each quote, i have ALL the AO's in place so when i write the essay i can mention everything and gain a mark for every AO. this is how you should analyse a quote/make it into a paragraph.
i remember quotes by writing them over and over again on scrap paper and testing myself, which is a bit tedious but it helps. also, as soon as i get my exam paper i jot down as many quotes i can remember in the moment. i think the main thing you can do to achieve an A is just remember the mark scheme and getting as many AO's as you can in your essay.

Heyyy, your revision technique looks quite beneficial and I will definitely be trying it. Would you mind sharing your revision materials with me as I am struggling quite a bit and I'm struggling to get any responses. Thank you x

Hi there I have finished A levels therefore I no longer own any revision materials. Definitely try what I mentioned in the post by picking a quote and listing all the assessment objectives for it. What I did for my A2 exam is writing a pre-planned essay which was broad and general e.g for The Great Gatsby the main theme is the American Dream so I wrote an essay based around this idea and I could link it to any question that came up in the exam (Loss, hope, failure, death, pursuit of money) it pretty much linked to everything so memorising my points and taking them into the exam and moulding them into whichever question came up helps a ton. Good luck and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask x
