Death of a Salesman

I was wondering if anyone could give me effective ways on how to revise the book 'Death of a Salesman' for AQA A-Level.
I struggle quite a lot with grasping the plot as it shifts from past to present quite regularly and have trouble talking about this in essays.
Does anyone know of any sources on how to acquire potential exam style questions so I can practice or any tips on how to remember key quotes.
I can rarely find anything online for this book.
thank you.

I went to see the play in theatres which really helped my understanding. If you can try and see it too or see if you can watch it online somewhere!
Try reading about the themes and symbolism online and then read the book again, it makes it 10x more interesting once you understand why everything happens. The play is amazing to both watch and read once you understand it. Seeing it live made me cry like a baby!! If you need any more help don't be afraid to dm me. :smile:
