Getting an A or A* in English Literature?!!!

Okay. I have had ENOUGH.

You guys. A level English Literature will be the DEATH OF ME.

Out of everyone I have spoken to - nobody likes this subject. I have re-read every play, book, article, poem over and over. I know everything there is to know, and yet I’m still stuck on getting *****y B grades.

“You need to explain what the writer is trying to say” like i ****ING HAVE !!!

I’m predicted an A grade and sometimes I get a good mark but other times I don’t, they want us to write so critically and UGH its so ass. There is no way in hell Im doing this at Uni, **** that. Could you imagine?? I work harder than everyone else as well!

Ive written like 5 practice essays and its always a level 4 or strong level 3 but wtf? Why cant i get a good ****ing mark

Im summary. Any tips for essay writing?

Instead of repeating the same mistakes, find out where you’re losing marks, and focus on that.
