Good luck! :haha:

This is my plan for the english exam.

Paper 1 (AOS):

Short answers: Don't need to practice lol, already decent at them.
Creative: Writing up one right now, and once I'm done- it's perfecting time and adapting to stimulus practice.
Essay: Generic response alongside backup thesis statements and textual evidence if the worst case scenario occurs. Need to find related text lol.

Paper 2 (Modules):

Module B: Know text really well, i.e. Themes, Characters, Acts, Scenes. So I'm going to just remember quotes and techniques cause this module can ask basically anything.
Module C: Similar strategy to AOS essay, except I've got a related text.

Wow. I wish I was dedicated to English as you are. So for your English exams, do you have to do three tasks (short response, creative and essay)?
And you are very knowledgable about your modules, I actually have no idea what they are lol. (Yes, I am very bad.)

For paper 1, yes.

Nah, I just look at the key words from the rubric and from there it forms the basis of my study for English.
