I HOPE YOU FAIL THE TEXT RESPONSE SECTION BECAUSE OF YOUR ONE WAY ATTITUDE

sometimes when you play with fire you get burnt simmo

just keep that above line in mind
lol... do we get to choose to do either one of the language anlysis's if there is more than one? Cause we might only feel confident in analysing one... :P

I'm doing the same texts as you and I know 100% that i'm writing on LBW in the exam - there is no point in me studying for AMFAS because I definitely know that I am writing on LBW.. so I think you should only focus on one text if you are absolutely confident and 100% sure you are going to write on it in the exam..

If you are not sure what text you want to write on then I think you should study for both but put in a little more effort towards your favourite just so that you have that little bit of extra confidence towards your most preferred option where you can use your second text as a 'backup' only.

haha.. why would I need to focus on AMFAS? It'd just be a complete waste of time.

I'd be able to write a response for any question that would come up in the exam for LBW.

Like what Costa said: "If you study well enough to understand it fully, you WILL be able to answer any question that arises because you have prepared for that."

Personally, I'm only going to focus on studying for one text.  My school is doing Hard Times and In the Lake of the Woods, and I've decided to focus on Hard Times.  No point studying for both, in my opinion.  I rather have a very thorough and in-depth understanding of one book than a less comprehensive knowledge of two books.

Yeh, the other thing that I don't think has been mentioned is that you get TWO questions for each text with the questions almost always being entirely differnt in their focus. If you aren't able to answer EITHER of those then you probably have a very limited understanding of the text anyway
