Watch as many Mr Bruff and Mr Salles videos as you can.

Maybe no time for Salles then just watch Bruff through paper 2.

Hey !

Revision videos can be very handy to listen, but I also stress you quickly go through any MAIN character quotes that may be written in a book with an original annotation. When trying to snatch higher grades in English, the examiner (or your teacher in this case) will be looking for points they have not seen before. Remember, anything in English is right if you can back it up with a quote. Since your mock is so near, during the exam try to remember what along the lines any quotes may have sounded like as you can get marks. No’one is going to penalise you if you don’t get every single word of the quote right. Try to have, at least, one paragraph on the extract and don’t focus on it too much. It can aid you with your writing, but writing about the actual question is what you’re supposed to do - it is important to at least have the paragraph though. One more thing: don’t sweat it! I got a 6 on my mock last year since we didn’t cover literature until the beginning of year 11 (I took my language then) and ended up getting a 9 this summer, despite getting predicted a 5. If more advice is needed, feel free to message me :smile:
