Does anyone else feel that this is possible, or of crucial importance to the end of year exam? Particularly in terms of fluency, it aids in being able to articulate your words in a sophisticated manner without stopping, allowing you a slight grace should you fall short of time come two hours.

I like this idea, I think you will do very well using this tactic. With Accidental Death, you could look into the various language features that relate to the play and make sure you know examples and defintions really well. Even if the specific example you know isn't in the exact passage you get in the exam, knowing them well will certainly help you identify other examples and make wider refrences to the text (if they are relevent)
