Hello, here is a sample essay https://www.yorknotes.com/gcse/english-literature/the-sign-of-the-four-2017/sample-answers/examiners-notes/30_candidate0
and I also found this BBC Bitesize page that guides you through answering and analysing a sample essay question https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zpyg7hv/revision/1
Also I'm not sure what exam board you are but I found this pearson pdf containing all types of sample answers for the novel if that's something you'd like to have a look at https://www.pearsonschoolsandfecolleges.co.uk/asset-library/pdf/Secondary/english-literature/york-notes-gcse/samples/york-notes-for-gcse-aqa-practice-tests-the-sign-of-the-four.pdf
please lmk if this was helpful 🙂 good luck with the exams!

Hi again, I'd advise to revise for all of them, because if you focus on one or two specific themes/characters then it's very risky. Have a read through this BBC Bitesize aqa guide for the novel https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z3df9qt watch their videos and test yourself, if you're still feeling unsure I'd recommend going through this playlist by Mr Bruff if you haven't already, he's really good (and really overused lol) for eng lit gcse

you can dm me if you have any other questions. i have good resources + essay questions, etc. remember: don't stress yourself out too much, the fact that you're asking on tsr shows that you care, that's more than most students. you've got this!
