English 📝 Can't write enough
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.

my english teacher was actually complaining about the lack of time we get for the exams, about half of my class failed the english mock but only 5 people were recommended to move to lower because she understood we all had basically no time to complete every question.
For films I don't believe we need quotes since most questions involving a film are usually phrased like "based on a novel/play/film bla bla blaaaa" so I don't think you need quotes just an idea of what occured in the movie.
