Quality over quantity. A lot of people will have heaps of pages with a lot of babbling on that has nothing to do with the question. And 5 pages is a lot. I write about 3 pages and get high B's/A's each time. I think you'll get a really good mark for it if you smashed it.

Don't worry about anything being "cliché". There are heaps of texts on belonging that you can relate to 'The Simple Gift'. Maybe try looking for a song or book about belonging that you like. All of your paragraphs should be trying to prove whatever your thesis is. Here is the structure I use and...

It might lower your mark a little cause you didn't read the question properly, but there's no point worrying now. If you lose marks, it'll probs only be a couple. If your essay was really good though you'll still get a good mark.

I think a fair few people would - I would still choose it

"I'm a half-caste" If worse comes to worse and you can't think of any other techniques for it and you really want to use it just say its dialogue. I actually like Educating Rita, and most prepared for it.

You need more than 2-3hrs sleep, or your more likely to forget important information and get lower marks than you would otherwise.

If you've only got stuff on Billy then just focus on him.

For Witness I'm choosing a theme and trying to use that in any question I'm given. Make sure you know the techniques really well. Good luck :)

Isn't it a bit late to be looking for related texts? The AOS exam is tomorrow. Don't forget you can disagree with the statement and talk about what suits the text you've already got.
