Exam tips

  • Use textual evidence

    Always support your points with direct references to the text.

    Textual evidence strengthens your argument and demonstrates a close reading of the material.

  • Integrate context into your analysis

    When discussing a text, always link your observations back to the context in which it was written.

    This demonstrates a deeper understanding of how external factors influence the text and enriches your interpretation.
