Tips for English A-Level AQA Unseen Prose

Hi everyone, I've been assigned an unseen prose essay question after one lesson of doing the subject - does anyone have any tips regarding structure or format of your 25-mark essay? All I know so far is it's meant to take me half an hour

Thanks for any help!

Double check which AOs are needed in the mark scheme or with your teacher. If it is mostly AO2 analyse quotes really deeply focusing on structure from and language. Occasionally talk about other aspects but mostly focus on analysing the text itself. If it is based in more AO3/4/5 make larger overarching points and bring in literary and historical context.
