I/GCSE ENGLISH AND LITERATURE EXAM SKILLS

Tip of the day

Avoid repeating yourselves as it reflects poor organisational skills and a lack of thorough planning before writing.

For students taking IGCSE World Literature and Literature in English, you need to avoid being repetitive at all costs in your essays.

Examiners dislike candidates who repeat themselves, as this reflects poor organizational skills and a lack of thorough planning before writing. This also exposes your weakness in making comprehensive, detailed analysis, as the examined texts (no matter seen or unseen) definitely offer enough nuances for quality analysis.

In a nutshell, repeating yourselves is a sign of incompetence and inadequate revision.
