How can I revise for my English exam?

English revision can be daunting because your teacher can't give you a list of facts to memorise. However, there's still lots you can do to make sure you go into the exam ready and confident!

The most important thing you can do is read and re-read your set texts. Before you even start to prepare responses to the text, you need to know the plot and character names really well.

After that, you can pick out some key themes that you'd feel happy writing about. For example, if you're revising To Kill a Mockingbird, you could pick out inequality and moral education.

Once you've chosen your themes, start building a bank of quotations from the text that support them. If you become familiar with them and use them to write plenty of practise essays, you should be ready to write really strong essays in the real exam!
