English Language A-Level WJEC

So, tomorrow is Paper 1 for English Language A-Level. I am panicking a bit... I know that it's spoken language and that we are going to probably be given transcripts to compare and I am well aware that the other part is concepts and issues. But I need help on how to:

-How to structure my answer for spoken language? I.e. what do I talk about for each? Nature of the text? Audience? Etc? I also need help for timings... i.e. how long do I spend annotating/actually writing my answer for this section?

... And for concepts and issues? I'm hoping power and standard and non standard come up... again, any ideas of headings that I can elaborate on? I know that you can bring in your own examples. I'm just really nervous about it, as I believe this is definitely the hardest paper of the three.

Any advice/help is very much appreciated. Thank you and good luck to anyone else sitting this exam tomorrow!
I would have replied to this if seen earlier, how did you find the exams?
