Here was my strategy this time of the year:
Based on essay feedback prioritise my weakest section- which for me was Section A
I would collate as many essay prompts as I could and write essay plans (realising that I can use the same quotes for a variety of essay prompts).
Memorise these essay plans- not word for word but try to get the general idea (don't go word for word- this is stressful and will lead to writing unnatural essays on the exam)
Start writing! Timed writing essays and when I can get feedback. A good habit is to mark your own essays!
Edit your own work- analyse how is your spelling, grammar, punctuation and flow.
-how was the progression of ideas, did you essay come across as confident?
- then show your teacher to recieve their insights
As for Section C (my stongest)
- try to do as many practice essays as you can, I would use articles in the newspaper lol
- timed writing, practice finding techniques quickly from a variety of sources
- develop a confident approach when it comes to analysing technique s
Hope this helps!
