HAS ANYONE GOT FINAL TIPS FOR UNSEEN TEXTS?????????????
Do short answer first. Don't go straight into the essay.

1. Make sure you understand the sentence
2. Make sure the sentence has a technique
3. You can relate it to the question (this should usually be pretty simple because of how subjective English is)

3 Marks - 1 topic sentence, 2 techniques + analysis
4 Marks - 1 topic sentence, 3 techniques + analysis
5 Marks - 2 paragraphs or 1 big paragraph with a topic sentence, 4 techniques + analysis
and so on and so forth.

IT DOES NOT MATTER THE COMPLEXITY OF THE TECHNIQUE. Analysing and relating a simile to the question will get just the same amount of marks as analysing and relating a polysyndeton. Don't overcomplicate things unless you want to run out of time for your essay.

At least that's what I'm doing. :spin:
