might be a little bit too late, need help.

Honestly wondering if i'm screwed or not. exam as we all know is on Wednesday and i'm in a position where i cannot focus and haven't focused in a while. Was wondering what I could possibly do to make use of this short time left? i have been studying on a daily note, but haven't written an essay in a while. I'm aware of what text I am doing for text response (The Complete Maus), and context (encountering conflict, The Lieutenant). Planning to do creative for context.

I understand it is very late to be asking this, but English is the only subject I struggle with. I've maintained a averages in almost all my other subjects so this behavior isn't necessarily normal from me.

Appreciate all the help.

Without knowing your writing, it's hard to say. What do you think your biggest weaknesses are?

biggest weakness would have to be not having a strong connection to the ideas/themes, or the actual prompt. it was a reoccurring theme in my sacs apparently, let me down in the last context one a lot giving me an 8/15 for my stories linking to the themes/ideas of A Separation.

You can improve your connection to the prompt by writing a strong contention that directly deals with every aspect of the prompt which you can periodically check up on while writing your piece to see if you're still on track.
It acts like a bridge that connects your writing with the prompt, just work on writing contentions for different prompts and you'll be fine
