Paper 1 Section 1 (1 Viewer)

I have a test coming up for Prelim English Advanced where one of the sections has a similar format to Paper 1 Section 1.

What is the best way to prepare/study for this?

Thanks

Learn some techniques and remember stuff like first person pronoun, short sentences, etc can be used as techniques. Practice reading short answer sections and comprehending them fast.

Read the question before the text to find out what you need to find.

ANNOTATE-Make sure you quickly annotate and highlight/ underline sections of the unseen text that may be helpful in answering the given question. You should do this for significant quotes which contains plenty of techniques and discovery ideas to analyse.
ANNALYSE-You should analyse the conceptual significance of discovery ideas examined. It is important to analyse the text as a whole rather than just analyse an obscure part. Never analyse parts of the text you are uncertain about. Good analysis is supported by concise, coherent and complete expression of your interpretation of the discovery concepts explored in the texts.
ASSESS-It is important to formulate a point of view regardless of what question you are responding to. Make sure you evaluate how effectively a particular composer has explored an idea relevant to discovery.
