      Technically, it's more efficient to cram right before the exam since you wouldn't forget what you revise, unlike if you study before hand. Your brain is fresh for the exam and can actively retrieve what you have covered quickly.

    Thank you! We did a mock exam of this paper and after i'd watched this video i got 27/40! I believe this is pretty good for my first time. Although sadly i had to skip Q4 in favour of Q5 meaning i missed out of 20 marks which affected my grade. I got a 4, and i believe if i manage my time better netx time i could reach a 6/7

    • @FirstRateTutors

    Here are some tips for anyone else that I don’t think were included in the video:
    -vary your paragraph sizes so your reader doesn’t lose interest easily
    - also vary sentence types and sizes for the same reason
    -try and avoid dialogue completely as it normally won’t work and drags on throughout the narrative
    -keep ambitious vocabulary very consistent and completely disregard words like cold
    -try and end the story as a cliffhanger; don’t completely wrap up the narrative or it’ll be rushed and might not make sense also gave the bonus of punctuation type of ellipses
    -limit yourself to 1-2 characters to avoid complexity
    -try and keep it in an hour span of time to also avoid complexity OR you can talk about:
    Para1 before before event
    Para2 before event
    Para3 event
    Para4 after event
    Para5 after after event
    Hope this helps some people ❤

      @@osatomwenmuisaac894 No, this is a grade 5-6 answer I'd say. You need to be using complex vocabulary, metaphors, and language devices. However, I would recommend doing the description question as it uses less time (you don't have to plan a plot) and you can go more in depth in techniques. Good luck if you've still got your GCSEs!

It also doesn't really require much of a structure like a story would so you can save time there. You can still get high marks though, I got a 9 for my literature and I did the descriptive question.

      You can try, but honestly, it's not worth it as, I'm 99% sure they are not going to ask this question. However, I recommend you to just memorise the structure, followed by lots of sophisticated words that you can use for your story -- Include vocabulary for the main themes: Thriller, horror, adventure/discovery and the rescue life task. If you know the structure and lots of strange descriptive words, you will be fine.
