I currently study Lit Lang Combined A level. I have exams next week, and will be expected to write a four-point essay for both The Handmaids Tale and Paris (Lang) in an hour each. How is basically the question. I achieved two grade 9's at GCSE, so feel as if I should be fine, but I can't figure out timing at all. I easily spend 30-40 minutes on one paragraph.

Hey,
When I write my English essays I think of a "big point" and then split it into two "sub points", then add a conclusion. So when I've finished I have two huge paragraphs sandwiched between an introduction and conclusion. This helps me squish the whole essay into 45 minutes. In the two paragraphs you can technically fit 4 points. Does the Lang/Lit exam mean the essay has to be 4 separate paragraphs?

Well, you have to learn how to organise your thoughts a little better, in that case. I would recommend thinking about how you will tie all of the AOs to each point in your plan.

Uh, my teacher has basically told me how one exam question, given an hour to complete, should have an introduction, three-four points and a conclusion.
