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?

Have you tried buying and practicing using a college-level grammar book? I like the "Harbrace" handbook. I think it's still published.

Well, as you've probably noticed, my grammar is pretty damn good. xD It's the book that's a big part of the course is about. I doubt reading about grammar is going to really do much for me.
I have the Of Mice and Men book, though, and I've been reading that; love it. I've also been researching on YouTube. There's teachers and know-it-alls on there who have been a great help. Also, there's plenty of forums. I'm just looking for feedback on here. EDIT: Screw it, I might just get it anyway, because it will probably cover some things I've never cared to study. Plus, from looking on Amazon, it looks like a good book. :P Question, though: is it American? Because if it is, I'd prefer a British book, as I don't want to be "taught" things like "write you".

Hi Zwangsstörung,
Do you know the exam board for that GCSE? E.g. OCR, AQA etc? Find out, and try and get a hold of past exam papers. I think doing past exam papers is extremely helpful, so definitely look into that. Also, back when I was in school, I found that when I was very open-minded and analytical in exams and essays, I got good marks. What I mean by that is you should make your answers very well-rounded, and not just one-sided. Look at things from different perspectives and give detailed pros and cons of these perspectives. It shows the examiner that you know your stuff. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
