Lol, there's almost no way to revise for English in my opinion. It depends a lot on talent because English is a subject which is heavily dependant on that lol. However, I'm worried not too much for English Language, but I'm really worried for English Literature because it's made for stupid people that can't think deeply... Hence when some of us go in deeply into the text, it's impossible to explain it in the way the question wants you to, hence crap grades :(

Actually, they do. I'm giving my FLE paper by studying/practising only for 5 months. They are great help for understanding answer formats and stuff.

not sure about format... how to do the question?
Depends on the question. All I can say is whatever you do, in the Reading paper, be very sensitive to the questions as well as the texts and try to pick out implicit meanings in everything. Literally.

Well, yeah..It depends on the type of directed writing...Each type has a different format...Implicit meanings are important as Sam said...The prob is..it bcums difficult for me at times due to time pressure.tsk..Good Luck to everyone!
