i know my texts well and stuff and i have good notes and stuff but i feel like im going to screw up my english assessment tasks (e1 and adv). my school kind of spoon-fed us up until now (hand ins, in-class essays but we get the question, get to take in a page of notes, get a set of possible questions or we already kind of know what the question is). but this term we have essays with unseen prompts. i have always messed up a little bit for essay writing exams but this is so far out of my comfort zone i feel like im going to fail
i have no strategy as to how to approach unseen prompts (especially bc they are a bit random) bc i got away with writing a great draft and memorising an outline of it and the analysis and quotes i used in it etc. im not sure how i can do that in this situation bc the past questions ive seen so far are way more diverse and demand different viewpoints etc. so that would mean id have to memorise a master list of everything and be able to adapt the thesis entirely to fit the question. like do all of that on the spot while also stressing under exam conditions. obviously what i did in the past wont work anymore so i need help
TLDR: i need advice on how to revise for my prelims bc i didn't develop good exam technique over the years and now im paying the price![Loudly crying face :sob: 😭](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/joypixels/emoji-assets@5.0/png/64/1f62d.png)
