Wrong!
Here is a list of things I suggest you do:
1) Build your vocab. This is hugely important; both your ability to understand/analyse and your ability to write is largely determined by your vocabulary. Revise the key words you've learnt during the course - and try to learn some of these. Remember, you can star about 10-20 words at a time (then filter to just include the starred items) and concentrate on learning those.
2) Revise your analytical vocabulary and rhetorical devices. Make sure you know these and/or these. Be ready to show what you can do in the exam. Give the examiner some variety, some conscious crafting of language: use alliteration, epizeuxis, anaphora etc.
3) Brush up on those common writing errors.
4) Know the two Language papers inside out. Memorise the questions on each paper and the timings (see below for the essentials). Paper 1 is next Tuesday (June 6th). Paper 2 is the Monday after (12th June). Both papers are in the morning, so you can think about what time you need to be moving on to the next question. I'll send you some papers via email, starting with Paper 1.
5) Practise!
Here's an overview of the two papers:
In the next post, I'll run through a series of reminders for Paper 1, including top tips from examiners.
I hope you're enjoying half-term!
