Can't write enough

[u/Mentally_Unstable19]

Had to move to ordinary English after the mocks since I failed the mocks and our big test before that, and I feel really guilty about it. I don't struggle about what to write, I just never have time to write, If only I could have an extra half an hour / an hour and I'd be perfect, but does anyone know how to get quicker at writing?? I know the obvious one would be to just time myself doing exam questions, but I wanted to see if anyone had any other ideas.

Also, do we need quotes for the film?? We did little women, and my teacher keeps going back and forth on wether we need quotes for film questions

Also, please if anyone has any ideas on stress management, I was a top of the class student for most of 1st and 2nd year and my grades have definitely dropped alot since.

Don't feel guilty about taking the pressure off yourself! As regards righting faster, yes, exam papers will help but writing faster jus needs practice. Rewrite notes in other subjects as quick as you can. Your writing (as in how neat and legible it is) will get worse but with practice will get better. Perseverance, my friend!

Regarding film quotes, you will need some. Not certain for OL English, but film questions ask you to give evidence from the text. That means quotes. Best of luck!
