I have spent 12 hours yesterday revising for English, and it has drained me so much, and I just about finished 2 themes in Macbeth, and now revising for other subjects just feels like a reward.

I absolutely loathe revising English, it genuinely makes me suffer, and when doing tests, I am stuck on a grade 5 and I just want to give up. I am a very slow writer and have got little improvement since year 1, and my mind becomes completely blank 60% of the time and when I think I've done well, I just perform worse, especially with poetry. I can't even plan 1 full paragraph in 15 minutes and think of a good thesis and point for a character or theme. At most, I can identify techniques and make basic comments, and that's just about it. I just want a grade 6 at this point, as it is now impossible for me to get an 8, making no major improvements at all.
