I actually thought about doing Literature and English next year instead of just one and a enhancement subject.
Since i am quite poor at English in all aspects (B average Student & i did unit 1 lit in grade 10 and didn't do so well), would doing both of them increase the chance of me getting a higher English score on at least one to add to my top 4? Or is this a bad idea and i could be doing another subject which will benefit me more? Thoughts?

I don't think that's such a good idea. Someone who doesn't like english will want to top themselves doing English and lit.

It doesn't really matter if i don't like the subject because i'll hopefully be able to try in both if i do them next year regardless. It's just a matter of getting a higher study score in at least one. wouldn't doing both improve my essay writing / english skills and therefore raise my top 4 english score? this seems like it could be a better option than doing one and another subject which will most likely not be in my top 4. or, since i'm not good at english, it won't really help and it's better to just try hard at one?

If your really keen on getting a higher study score and you don't like english - DONT do 2 englishes for the sake of it. Terrible idea. Put twice as much effort into 1 of them. If you like english and writing essays (which I know for a fact you don't) - then do both.
Don't get sucked into the glamorous world of words and literature if its not right for you ;)

It's not as simple as 'screwing up'. If you are well prepared you have nothing to worry about.
