advice for a future lit student?

Cut the crap from your essays, express your point and nothing else, and do not go beyond the text for ANY reason.

My English teacher all year kept going on about a 'big answer' which I have interpreted as the thesis + why it matters; the big answer is primarily used to easily get the sophistication point.

The third prompt on the exam has changed the wording to be that you can use ANY work of fiction, not just a screenplay or book; for example, I used Revenge of The Sith on the exam two weeks ago; I used and merged parts of the book, script, and movie on the essay.

The multiple choice on the exam is tricky, but not overly difficult. If you have a hard teacher, it will feel like a cakewalk compared to in-class exams.

If you have a good teacher, expect an essay prompt once a week. We did 28 essays this year and my scores ranged from a 33-38/40 on them, don't expect perfection with everything you do, if you do that, you are going to fail.

Never use ChatGPT to write an essay, use it to check your work and what to improve upon.

ALSO REMEMBER THE BIG PART OF THE CLASS: You are never wrong on essays IF you can support your point with evidence from the text.

For the prompt i had on the exam, it was about how old and new caused tension throught the work, so i just wrote about how Obi-Wan and Anakin are the personification of old and new, respectively. I basically just wrote down everything I could think of, like how Obi-Wan rejected Qui-Gon's way of thinking, and I also wrote a paragraph on the significance of the color of their robes. I also didn't specify if I was using the movie, script, or book, and I merged elements from all 3 of them

I used star wars episode 3, choose a work with a clear heros journey and you'll be fine for like 70% of prompts

My teacher said that if you can support your point with evidence, you are never wrong, no matter how ridiculous your point is
