don't use flashcards use blurting and mind maps, so I would say pick a character eg Mr birling and write everything you know on a mind map about him, his beliefs (he has capitalist views so he believes that the bourgeoisie is better than the proletariat blah blah) his key quotes any themes that direct to him and just write it on a piece of paper, (so that u can use it again and again if u need to) you can look at websites or text books for help

then once you are done, get a whiteboard or if u don't have, then another piece of paper and write everything you remember like EVERYTHING. then once you are done see what you missed out and write it in another pen and do it again until you remember a lot about that character.

next I would say is to focus on how to write an essay because you will be in that exam for 1 hour plus and of course you don't want to be waffling you should KNOW what to write and how to structure it or else you wont get many marks. try use PEEL which means point, evidence, explain (analysis), link back to the question and make sure u talk about writers intentions and how the reader feels (do not say it makes the reader want to read on istg u will not get marked for that teachers HATE IT)

omg i realised i wrote so much i rly hope this was helpful to you and this wasn't me yapping and yapping..... let me know if u need anything else <3
