Well as far as I know there no secret behind getting an A* or anything like that . The golden rule is to practice as if you're the worst one and to perform as if you're the best one . Make sure you check Alisson Digger's Book too , It's very helpful and highly recommended by examiners .

English SL is one of the easiest exams . All what u have to concentrate at is how to write a letter,summary or an article as they have most of the marks.

First for the Summary

• Underline the most important points needed, Depending on what is asked for
• From the main article just use the important phrases,that u cant change and make sure u use ur own words
• Reread your summary,make sure all the underlined points are covered ( Not less than the needed which is 6 )
• Do not use your opinion,ideas or suggestions
• Do not write less than 100 or more than 120 words
• Make sure you got no title or more than 1 paragraph

Second for the Letter

• If your letter is to be formal, make sure you use a formal style of language
• Use Different Adverbs and Adjectives Not the normal ones
• Nine marks are given for you content , and another nine marks for the used language, so work hard ;D
• Stay with the topic,so don't talk about something different, you have a word limit !
• Remember if its formal use Dear Mr./Mrs.(Last name ), Not the 1st. And use in the end Sincerely,Yours Faithfully
• Try to use 3 Paragraphs, 1 as an introduction 2 as the body ( main ) 3 for the conclusion

Third the Article

• Article is different you will have to use a Title,and about 3/4 Parapgraphs
• There will be ideas given in the question that can help you, Try to use always a ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 in the advantages and disadvantages
• Make sure u write between 150 and 200 words
• Show organisation of facts, ideas
  and opinions
  
• Try to Describe Related situations

Sorry if i dont have all covered ive already done it and cant remember all the points, but i tried to cover the most important ones

But still work hard mate


Good luck
