How to revise English literature

You could make flashcards for key quotes (with prepared analysis), themes etc. Practise exam questions, get it marked by your teacher. Also, mindmaps could help.

How to revise English literature

I would summarise all the key quotes, points and analysis onto an A4 page (use both sides if absolutely needed). This is so that you can have all your main notes in one place. Then you could either a) make flashcards based off of that + refer to your notes for those or b) memorise the key points off the page itself.
Understand the mark scheme as well, to do this use practice papers - there's some great ones on PMT and MME revise or you can just search it up. At first, it may be hard to adjust to the style of questions, but the key thing to learn here is the mark scheme - what are they expecting you to point out? Have you included all learning objectives? (A01, A02 etc.)
Doing those two things will help the most, utilise the internet as well - youtube is a good one, I find that the channel Glow up your grades is amazing for poetry anthology and Mr Bruff/Mr Salles teaches english are classics, so refer to them too.
Hope that helped and good luck!
