How to study for Eng Lang?

What practice questions are there? What can we do to revise previous topics? I want to save the exams for the end of the year.

Hi,

Good question you have there. For practice questions (especially in preparation for SACs) ,I would recommend ‘English Language Exam Guide by Kirsten Fox’ (green book). If you run out of that, you can use past exams 2011 and earlier since it’s the old study design as practice. Since there were no ACs in the old study design, you can write analytical commentaries on any of those texts and use them as short answer practice too. The green book has enough essay topics to satisfy you :)

Hope this helped!

In addition to the above, something I'll say about EngLang revision:

Even when it seems like you have no resources, you have a plethora of resources. Find any text and write an analytical commentary on it. Literally anything. A speech from TV, a conversation you record with your friends, an advertisement you hear on the radio. Anything you can get your hands on, analyse it.

That's the beauty of English Language - we're analysing language, and language is all around us. Always. :)
