English language 2017 exams , new spec

okay so personally i believer i am good at English and last year i was on a solid A for all of eng. This year we have started the new gcse spec and honestly no one is doing good. how do you answer the language questions? my points are good but my answer never meets the full mark in both papers although my creative q5 are usually good but not enough to get me a good pass. i really need to pass English lang

anyone doing good? how are you finding it? any help/support? how answer qs and structure it?
thanks :smile:
