Help in IGCSE English First Language

[YumI_EGY]

PLEAAAAASSEE! Can anyone who already did the English First Language paper and got an A or A* give me some tips on how to solve the paper. And please no examiner tips. I read it 10000000000 times and it is not helping please

I got an A*. Now i got an A* not because i followed my teachers and everyone else, but because i thought of the unorthodox way and thought out of the box. My teacher kept telling me stuff that i really didnt think it was true and well we had issues against each other. Well i coudnt take it anymore and i decided to just give the paper. Thats another matter. i'll just give you tips.
*In the letter writing, if the question says 'start your letter with dear sir/mam (whatever) just start it with that.
*Use words that impress the checker. now im not saying to write such fancy words that the checker thinks you're trying too hard. Write words that are simple but impressive.
* In Creative writing, i always choose the topic that could let my creativity take over me. Creativity is what gets you the A*. Creativity is your key to an A*.
*Read the comprehension questions VERY CAREFULLY. There will always be an answer to the questions. Choose your wordings very carefully.
I dont really know what else comes in the IGCSE english paer since i gave the GCE paper but these tips are universal.

I found this really helpful. My teacher says the maximum I can get in FLE is a B. Note to future self : teachers are not always right.
