Does anyone have any tips? I'm looking to get A*, if at all possible, but I'd settle for A.

Hell, if anyone has any tips for the English GCSE itself, not just oMaM, then feel free to spill the proverbial beans.

I'm still early into the course - I have a whole year left to study and work, but I'm wanting to do as much as I can. I can't stress enough how important it is to me that I get this GCSE completely and utterly nailed. I've spent years teaching myself English, improving on what used to be terrible grammar and spelling, since I was 16 or so years old--now 28 years old. I just really need to have a grade that fits the bill, y'know?
