Revise as much quotes as possible. Personally, writing a lot of essays is a great way (Got me 8 in English Literature :biggrin:)

So if I do a lot of essays and give my teacher to feedback do you think this would help?

Plan loads of questions and make you know quotes which you can analyse well, especially ones which are a technique
Yes definitely practice exam technique, ie writing questions in exam conditions and ask your teacher to mark it! That’s what I do with my a level psychology essays:smile:
