How to study for gp

A Levels :snoo:

JC1 here. Recently, I got back my wa2 and i did pretty badly (D). This was pretty expected since I have been averaging c to e for all my timed practices for both compre and essay.

For those seniors who got A for alvl/promos without having a strong foundation in English, how did yall do it? My english is pretty weak to begin with (I got a B3 for olvls) but i really need to get a A in alvl cos the uni course I want is pretty competitive..

So far, my plan is to study about 2hrs a week where I will:

-read model essays to try and improve my language

-create an example bank

-read the st primers

But I'm not too sure which model essays to read, like do I focus on those qith really fanciful language or strong content and evaluation. Also how do you find examples for essay? Do I just doomscroll on cna? I tried that once but I feel like half of the articles are rlly random and unapplication for gp essays. Also for my example bank, should I try using them to write content paragraphs for potential essay questions and try to evaluate or just state the example and give details? Lastly, I heard that it's better to focus and study on a few topics like education or sci and tech rather than studying everything? Which topics should I focus on (like they will cfm cfm come out for alvl one)? cos I heard that there are big topics (arts, sci and tech) and small topics (gender, politics..?). For the seniors out there, which topic did you focus on?

Thanks for reading till the end!!
