yeah surprisingly, since the exam was a lot of just memorising etc, once u know how to answer an English question (what they're looking for) english literally becomes a matter of regurgitating well written sentences that ultimately make ur paragraphs and thus essays. Trust me i hated english with a passion, so much so i didn't read any of the required texts and didn't study for eng until a month before paper 1.
anyways what im saying is once u can pull out syllabus words and learn to understand what questions are asking for sure set
