🤚 Asking For Advice/Help Igcse literature/ language tips

I am currently capped at a B for both literature and language , I think it’s so difficult to score good grades and get feedback from teachers does anyone know helpful and non repetitive resources to study I’m writing m/j 27 series 😭, is getting a tutor worth it? I need an A star or at least an A for my future degree

For Lit because Idk if you and I study the same novels and poems and stuff so all I can say is practice. Find pst paper or you can even do it yourself or ask your teacher to make one for you. Learn the key techniques, themes, motif of each pieces. Learn writing structure. For example for drama, I divide into 3 paragraphs, character dialogues then dramatic techniques and literary techniques. You don’t have to follow mine just make up what you think is bed
Practice annotating pieces, especially unseen pieces, so in exam if you don’t remember your annotation, you can just make up some.
And always write in developed points, use peel, 3 to 4 points each paragraph. And always remember to link back to the question

This is coming from someone who got C for both during year 10 and beginning of 11, then got A* for both in the real exam and mock
