ohhh.. I thought you were getting As and wanting to get A* :biggrin:

I would recommend PLANNING! It's so useful as a revision technique but also in exams because it means that you will have a clear argument.

For comparisons try and start your topic sentence with a difference instead of a similarity? For example: Both Fitzgerald and Wharton presents the presents American society as rigid, however Fitzgerald does.... whereas Wharton does....

For the unseen AO3 doesn't just have to be historical, it could be literary eg modernism, realism, naturalism etc and make links to other american novels.
