What Should I do in the Next 24 Hours

The English exam is only 24 hours away. I want to know what I can do in that time to hopefully maximise my marks. Until now, I've done a few exam pieces in school, have have been learning quotes and practicing small parts of tasks. Any tips? I get about 5-5.5 in exam pieces but I would like to be scoring 6-6.5...

Also, does anyone have sample essays for Cloudstreet, The White Tiger, Malala and Dagenham? They seem to be difficult to find.

Thanks.

if you hate doing practice essays (like me and many others) I suggest finding some prompts and just doing a whole bunch of detailed plans. (including your topics, quotes, characters, themes, ideas, etc). I've found it to be effective in studying text content and quotes and themes all at the same time. Good luck for tomorrow!

This is a wonderful post on this very topic! It's from a few years ago, so it may not be 100% relevant, but there's some great advice in there. :)

Thanks for the advice. I think I'll just relax for most of the day, look over essays and notes and maybe write a conclusion or two. Now is no time for worry. :)
