I studied these texts exactly this year though I was on a different exam board. The revision guides that are sold for each of these are quite good, though they were never my favourite I know a lot of people in my class liked them! I used cliff notes for chapter summaries for the majority of texts, I found it was good enough for A-Level! I imagine Youtube can be quite helpful for these too.

It’s really hard to remember what I used to do but don’t stress yourself out too much this summer! When I started year 12 they changed the texts we were studying without telling us and we still got on okay! I hope you enjoy the texts, I really enjoyed Othello, though Shakespeare isn’t everyone’s favourite, and though it took me a while to like The Handmaid’s Tale I finally do.
Good luck with starting A-Levels :smile:

thank you so much, really useful info! :smile::smile:
also a good tip is keep track of quotes you like as you read it the first time (like highlighting). And don’t just read the texts once. I probably read them about 3 times and I still missed so many good quotes!! I really hope this helps you :smile:
