I know you're probably all really stressed. It's natural to be. But remember, you're all really clever (even if you don't feel 100% prepared).
You are all capable of dissecting and understanding any text put in front of you. That's what you're good at. Even if you didn't revise for this, I'd still be expecting some decent essays from you.
You'll be awesome.
Just remember for each text/author, remember the CONTEXT that they are writing in. Remember that they are writing for a reason (personal, contextual, historical - sometimes many different reasons)
Your job is to pick out just some of the many thousands of genius things that these authors have done (just a few - a small percentage of what there is actually there) and try to tell the marker WHY you think they have done this, and how it links to the theme that they throw at you.
You have the ability to pick out evidence and twist it to fit the question. If you are BRAVE in your answers, many of you will make points that totally impress the markers.
You really are THAT good.
Have faith in yourselves. Learn useful chapters/sections so that you can find them easily. Don't forget to use context/terminology.
Other than that, go in there and smash it.
You'll be boss.
Singing off now. Try to get a decent night's sleep after you've done your revision.
