Hi guys! I have been practicing Section A for Scholarship English and it is wiping me out. I have never actually done an unfamiliar texts exam before as our school for some reason removed that standard...

PLEASE if anyone has any tips, tricks, or techniques, I would GREATLY appreciate it!!

Also, sometimes when I read the texts, my interpretations can be extremely abstract – insofar as they go far beyond what the author intended. This is genuinely an unintentional propensity, but I am unsure of how to condense my interpretation. What am I supposed to be looking for, and how do I explain it effectively?

Thank you so much! :)

Hi guys. For standard 91098, we are given questions like: Analyse how the setting helped you understand one or more characters. I am in desperate need of clarification as to whether ' setting ' refers to one SINGLE distinct place in the book, or if I can class 3 under the same setting? How am I supposed to effectively explain a characters progression and development through a sole setting – especially if one of great significance only emerges in the last 50 pages of the novel? I am getting mixed answers from teachers; some which say I am unable to just umbrella my 3 places under a BROADER one despite it being technically true. ( They want to remain cautious ) I am truly lost as it seems quite illogical to me. Is there anyone here who could provide some clarity? Thank you!
