English- Key Notes

Thanks! I have heard from a few people that this is a good book to get. Does it cover the entire course?. I'm looking for a B2+ in English. I got an A in JC and would be hoping I could get an A2 again! Any tips on how to achieve better results in English?. My teacher is very indecisive regarding grades. I've dropped in essays from an A2 to a C1. . So far we've done Patrick Kavanagh, Sylvia Plath, Act I, 2, 3 Hamlet and general comprehensions etc. Would you recommened I keep learning my quotes and practise past exam questions on poetry?. Are the marking schemes of any use in English?. Thanks!

It covers paper two. It does all the poets and a comparative (but that differs as you know) and Hamlet. Worth its weight in gold. I wouldn't be too worried about what grade your teacher gives you, just keep churning out something.

Awh great thanks!. We haven't started our comparative yet we don't have a novel or anything. I got a B3 in my Christmas exam and it really annoyed me, I thought I was at the very least a B1 student. However I was talking to my sister who had the very same (ancient) teacher. She constantly handed her good work and never recieved anything higher than a D1. She got a B3 in the Leaving with no study at all. Sure you can't really study for English except Quotes from Hamlet and Poets can you?.
