    Could you get away with doing 2 texts only ? Not great with my 3rd one.

    Is it always a comparative question with 2 texts and another question on 3 every year ?

    Not necessarily no, in 2009 the question A on the comparatives just asked to compared from the texts you have studied but the question didn't specify how many texts. The marking scheme says that your answer should refer to two or more texts but I don't think there's anything stopping them from asking you to compare three texts.

    Yes I believe you can. The problem with doing two texts however is that you need to go in to far more detail.

    You know two texts, you're sorted. Learn a few quotes from your third one which sound kinda right and stick em in where necessary. Eg: five lines on text A, "similarly"... Five lines on text B, "which is reminiscent of"... stick a quote in here from your third text which seems in any way relevant. New paragraph. Do this for all your points, and you're sorted :)
