I'm not very good at English and struggle to get an A , but i really need it , I would like some tips and tricks for Of mice and men and Inspector calls questions.

I'm not great at English either so what I'm revising is plot, characters and themes

Make sure you have 10 key quotes for each character... do lots of practise essays!

It sounds like AQA

The things you suggested will all help a lot :smile:

You might also want to look up some past papers and practice answering the questions along with reading some past A/ A* responses

For An Inspector Calls revise dramatic devices such as dramatic irony and lighting and how Priestly uses them for effect. You could also revise the message in which Priestly is trying to put across to his audience. Best of luck! I have OMAM and AIC also on Monday!! :tongue:
