For paper 1, question 5, I had prewritten 3 stories that matched with all the past exam questions and got my teacher to mark it so that by the time my exam rolled around, I just memorised those stories and only spent 20 minutes in the real exam for question 5 only needing to make minor adjustments. If you do that, make sure you look at ALL past paper questions and get them marked to full marks.
