1984, the handmaids tale, hamlet

For Hamlet and the handmaids tale my teacher was terrible and I got a U. Appreciate it if any of you have any resources/notes. I'm doing OCR.

if youre getting a u, its your writing thats the issue not your knowledge of the texts. find some exemplars and harvest some of the phrases and ideas from those, theyre typically on the exam board's website

I did handmaids tale I recommend writing up chapter summary’s then another but for each character summary’s also have a list of dystopian conventions as they are very key and on top of this do ALOT of practice under timed conditions also make sure you can annotate your text throughly like be able to spot specific things for example asyndetic listing etc. Also PMT has so many useful resources
