a good way to improve is making a list of literary techniques and examples next to them so it'll develop your analysis and hopefully get you top marks :smile:

Hey there @rethan.b ,

Some YouTuber's that came to mind that you might want to check out are 'Mr Bruff', 'Mr Everything English', 'Mr Salles Teaches English'. They definitely helped me when I did did my English GCSE's and their videos are so so helpful 🙂 I hope that helps, but alternatively do you ever use textbooks? There are really good revision guides available that could probably be useful in relation to grammar too. If you search something online I'm sure you could find something.
