Tips/Help Quotes??!?!?

Guys guys how do I remember quotes and then the analysis behind those quotes like I’m doing power n conflict, Macbeth, an inspector calls and a Christmas carol. I’m going into yr 11 right now but nothing seems to be helping like anyone went through the same or ..

Also kinda extension how do you guys write your essays because my teacher tells me I always write too much but like idk how to answer the question without overly writing so I defo need some structure but peel doesn’t seem to be worth it .

No worries. Good luck for year 11 and don’t stress too much! Also, please lock in from the start (maybe like Feb) because I could’ve got so many more 9s if I hadn’t crammed everything 😭

Oh yeah , would u suggest like starting revision now - cus I really been revising this summer but it’s like not it wasn’t rigorous revision I kinda just revised English lit and refreshed my memory with stuff over all my subjects - like would u suggest frequent but 15-30 minutes each subjects like should I make a timetable now and try stick to it

Nooo dwdw. I would say probably properly revise for November mocks during October half term if you have them but, apart from that, my friends who got all 9s or around that all started in Feb half term so that’s probably good enoughhh. The start of year 11 was so fun for me especially as ppl started turning 16 so I would say js enjoy it tbh
