My top 5 study tips
1Focus on the evidence before themes- Build your understanding of the text from what you can actually argue
2Set clear but manageable due dates for tasks - Base your study plans with breaks and mental health in mind
3Model your work off exemplars - Read widely in both essays and fiction to see what success looks like and how it can be emulated
4Annotation is your tool for success - Build an analytical vocabulary of techniques and themes to this end
5Actively try to love your texts - Not every text will be your favourite, but finding something you connect with or can appreciate will make analysis and writing easier
