Paper 1 — plan composing before you write
Spend five minutes outlining genre, tone, and paragraph purpose. Examiners reward controlled structure over length.
Paper 2 — know your comparative modes
Theme, cultural context, and literary genre comparisons need prepared quotes — not last-minute memorisation the night before.
Poetry — one paragraph formula per poet
Introduction, quoted line, technique, and personal response — practise this skeleton until it is automatic under timed conditions.
