English lit GCSE (1-9 exam specification) poetry

How many quotes for each poem should I learn off by heart for each poem out ofr the 15 poems we have to remember. Baring in mind that it is a closed book examination and I also have to memories structure and form of each poem.
Also not forgetting that I have 2 novels and a shakespere play to remember along with all of this which is also a closed book examination.

Hi! c:
I'm trying to memorise around 4-8 for each poem, because we have a lot to remember so there's no point in trying to learn a lot more than that - that wouldn't work for me anyway. Also, you have to say a lot about a little, so you shouldn't need too many. Oh, and you do get to see one of the poems in the exam, so that should help! Good luck!
