Language Analysis

If I struggle with language analysis (and take longer time on it) but do fairly well on the other sections on the exam, should I do it first or leave it till the end?
And any last minute advice for language advice?

Well, if you think you have written a bad language analysis it might disrupt your momentum and so you write poor text and context responses.

Personally, i always do language analysis first because it is fresh in your mind from reading time. You might forget important aspects of the article if you leave it until the end.

Last minute advice ... don't try and memorise techniques and try and fit them into every article, it won't work. Always analyse how phrases or words, even if you can't label them, affect the audience. You don't have to mention the technique, but usually article's will have the obvious one's you can label and analyse in detail.

I'm planning to do language analysis last because I'm always too nitpicky and take too long with it so I want to make sure I have enough time to do the other sections. Hopefully the adrenaline rush will kick in in the last hour and I can write like hell.
