English Literature is easily the scariest exam. I got a C last year (my joint highest grade with Biology)and I still don't know how. To me, it feels like the only compulsory subject which requires creativity. The questions could literally be about anything and require a lot of thought and creativity. I'm no good at anything to do with creativity. I like the subjects that follow instructions, like math. They are so much simpler, because it doesn't require much in terms of creativity. There might be some level of creativity in thinking about how to apply specific areas of it to specific topics, but nowhere near the level that English Literature has.
This is all based on my experiences and the English Literature exam I did last year (WJEC Unit 1).
I really don't know how to prepare for it this year, and the advanced information is ****.
