Just starting AH English, help!

Hi, so basically long story short my school went rlly anti AH but this persons parents must enough off a fuss that the school is now doing AH English. HOWEVER the course is starting next week which is roughly 10 weeks into the academic year and we only have two teaching periods
Does anyone have any suggestions and tips for AH English to help me catch up ? Thank you

Easier said than done, I know, but try not to panic. Remember that six of those weeks were the summer holidays, so you haven't missed ten teaching weeks.
How well did you do in Higher English? If you were already getting high grades, you will already have a good skillset for progressing into AH. You'll be working on building these skills further in AH rather than learning any new techniques from scratch.
I'm not sure how much you know about the AH course, but all the information you need to know about it can be accessed on the SQA website - including how it is assessed, past papers, templates for coursework, etc: https://www.sqa.org.uk/sqa/48453.html
I'd suggest taking a look at the Advanced Higher English course specification, particularly Pgs 8-27, and having a think about what you might want to do for your writing portfolio and dissertation.
