Well, I have an English Oxford Grammar book. Other than that, I read the newspaper, read my texts for school atleast 5 times and do weekly essays on them. I also have prepared mindmaps for each book and to connect themes to other relevant ideas.  Also, I read quite widely. I hope thats enough. Aiming for a 50.

Generally I use Insight English for Year 12 - I think its the best company for English, they also have excellent novel study guides and sample essay books and for Language Analysis - Insight Persuasive Language in Media Texts
A+ Contexts and Text Response are also really handy resources
Good luck

It is quite useful but it's a waste 'cus there are all 4 contexts! I think they sell them in separate books according to context but I'm not sure if the Text Response and Language Analysis is included or not...

I have a whole heap of study guides but in the end... I don't really use them...
