Year 9 english language paper 2

I'm in year 9 and recently we got our results from our english language paper two exam which was marked like a GCSE. I got 57/80 which is just level 8 on this paper for GCSE standards, level 9 is 62 ,5 marks away. I did well on questions 3 and 5. Q3 got 10/12 and question 5 got 34/40. I messed up bad on question 4 which lost me marks surprisingly because I tend to get 12-14 out of 16 on this question. I got 6/16. I'm in year 9 and GCSE's are in year 11 so by then I'm aiming to get a 9 on english language. Are there any methods you'd recommend to get higher marks on Q2 and Q4 of english language consistently because I tend to not spend enough time on question 2 and I over-complicate question 4. Any suggestions?

Unfortunately I don't have my paper with the question, the teacher does so I can't show you the structure but I was told that the issue was more to do with being repetitive and not being clear enough about what it portrays and instead goung straight onto the methodology and terminology.
