This is a question you must answer yourself. No one can tell you what you need, only you can!

I'd recommend doing an hour or half an hour of each everyday with a break between each

For Mod B English, I'm doing Speeches. Since they can specify any speech for Mod B, how should I prepare for this?

I did speeches too. You should know ALL speeches (techniques, context, audience etc). But you should have detailed study on a few - preferably 3 (I did kyi, Atwood and Bandler). I think they specified Bandler, so it was great (I did it with Sadat - went great with the question). Some people ignored Bandler and literally cried out of the exam hall. You don't want that to happen to you!

There are loads of resources online. All you need for speeches is to memorise the key techniques for the others (not your chosen few), and know a bit of the context - practice a few essays- you should be good.

There's so many essays to prepare. Should I memorise my essays or just remember themes, quotes and techniques?

most people I know memorised for Mod A and C because they TEND to be generic - even if they aren't you can find your way around it. Mod B, fuck no - just memorise themes, techniques, quotes, context etc

What's so difficult about Mod B? The only problem is that for Mod B I'm doing Speeches, so I have to prepare for all 7 speeches.
