English Language question

Is English language paper 2 easier than paper 1

It depends on what your better at: creative writing (paper 1) or more evaluative writing like debating and comparing texts (paper 2). Personally, I think paper 1 is much easier because there are simpler models to learn for it such as MAPSOS (Metaphor, alliteration etc..) in order to do creative writing. Overall, both are pretty hard but my best advice is just to do past papers in timed conditions and write creative writing passages in your own time. Whatever questions you get the least marks in, repeat those more if doing past papers often is too much. Consult your teachers or advice on YouTube. It all depends on your skill as a student. Me personally, paper 1 was easier coz i read books a lot and loved writing but others find paper 2 easier. You've really just got to practice. Hope this helps and God bless! (Don't worry too much about the exams :smile:))
