and also do you guys happen to know what scores I'd need for each section for a 40+ in English? Thanks so much - good luck with revising
For a 40+ you will pretty much need an A+ on the exam (or a very high A)
An A+ in 2019 was ~75%
So if you score <8/10 I would think this would be a safe bet for a SS over 40
So i think you're on the right track
Tips to get a 9-10/10
- Develop original ideas, CHALLENGE the prompt demonstrate a high level of understanding of your texts (in section a & b) by presenting unique ideas
- Develop a vocab bank, note down words you are often repeating and write a list of alternatives; challenge yourself to learn at least one new word per day till the English exam
- Flow is important; make sure the general flow in your essay is easy to read (a basic way to do this is to discuss the essay in the order of the original story- but you don't have to do this for good flow) also make sure within the paragraph your ideas are linked together in a logical manner
- PRACTISE PRACTISE PRACTISE write timed essays (1 hour per essay) as this is a good way to practice writing in timed conditions
- Analyse teacher feedback see where you're lacking + what you're doing well (a 7/10 is still a good score!)
