hii, okay so from my experience - im not too bad at unseen and i've performed well in the essays we have practiced in class, ( we've done about three )
one thing i'd reccommend is before you start writing your unseen essay, spend three mts just looking through the poem and annotating anything u see - id recommend looking at the structure ( for example an ABAB rhyme scheme in a poem , or the lengths of the poem - each paragraph has 4 lines etc)
another thing, just analyse as much as you can, because this will stop you from spending time thinking in the middle of writing your essay - ik for aqa we have to do three essays on lit paper 2 , with oen of them being unseen and time is quite tight, so hence id defo recommend just doing as much analysis as you can - maybe practice some analysis before the exams, as this will sharpen your skills for language analysis questions ( such as q2 on paper 1 english lang ),
lastly, make sure to include some context! so for example, we had a poem about autumn - i would try relate it to current times

and for the 8 marker ( again going with aqa )
where u compeare the unseen poem with another small poem :
remember the three main things to compare are
remember for this question, its only 8 marks, so don't write too much - i would say about half a page with good comparisons is good enough!
im sorry if this didnt help (
but best of luck uve got this!!
