Hey I got a 9 in both. I think the most helpful thing is YouTube videos, I found Mrs Whelan's English particularly useful for Lang and the tips she gives are great. Also, i would suggest practicing the 40 markers for language alot, as you'll be surprised by how important they are- if you can get like 36+ in them and do fairly well for the rest of the paper, you're probably looking at a 8-9. Let me know anything else I can help with x

9? in both!? That's BLOODY impressive! Do you have any tips for literature, like paragraph structure or like how many I should write? Usually i just adopt a language paper 2 question 3 style but it doesn't really get me marks 😕 😭 (lit 1 : I'm doing inspector calls + macbeth and for lit 2 : I'm doing a christmas carol + edexcel conflict poetry -
A Poison Tree — William Blake

I did A Taste of Honey and Romeo and Juliet for my lit exam, so I didn't really have many resources to sort of use in my own writing, so idk how well I did it. I generally did 4 paras plus intro and conclusion, ensuring I covered different viewpoints to make my analysis complex. I also tried to include at least 1 alternative explanation of a quote per para to STRENGTHEN and ADD VALUE to my analysis. Also, it's MUCH better to pick a high quality phrase from your text and do strong, focused analysis.
