i&#x27;m scared of my english literature exam on friday

I'm in the same boat, feel totally unprepared. I'm doing
Waterland (possibly the worst book to be examined on ever)
Look Back in Anger
Blake

By the way, you don't need to know too many quotes for your drama, because the only Assessment objectives you're tested on are the ones requiring knowledge, understanding and insight and understanding of contexts.

Im doing Hard Time, Poetry and Streetcar.... I haven't done any revision which isn't a problem, I never do any till the day before, but my step dad left today (my parents decided on Monday they're getting divorced) and I haven't really slept properly.... I'm bricking it about this exam, I've got an A in the coursework but if I get a bad question Im screwed....

I'm dreading it, I'm doing the Poetry Anthology, Top Girls & Return of the Native. I've been cramming for Psychology this past week so I've not had a lot of time for English. I'm praying for a miracle &/or easy questions.

Shame in english is that there is no definite anwser like in maths and in chem, i know it can be pretty cool and free flowing as you wish but... It's so much easier to do maths and chem in my opinion :biggrin:

lol

But you gotta love drama and poetry ^-^ (well they are my favourite parts!)

Why have you been worrying about remembering quotes from the play and poems. These are open book right?

Rahmara - I think his poems are well written but I don't especially like them.

I have just PMed you - which poems may come up? Also, do you have to refer to context/critic's views?

Well, I don't know about other exam boards, but on AQA B the poetry/drama exam is the closed book exam, while the novel is open book.

i'm doing Wise Children, A Woman of No Importance and Beowulf. So far, i've not seen anyone else doing the same combination. I'm so worried, Wise Children is closed book and i don't know enough quotes. Am just looking forward to this time tomorrow..aaahhh :biggrin:
