There is a thread from about 10 days ago called anyone meed gcse advice. I posted some of the possible writing prompts. Def check them. Use the next couple of days to write 3 or 4 answers. Combine elements so that it increases the chance of you getting that prompt. I did this and I ended up writing the entire story I memorised and got a 9. Hope that helps.

So like instead of doing a story about animals, one about a big event, one about being sad, combine all these elements into one story so that you combine all your efforts into maybe 3 or 4 stories.
