Junior cert panic

IrishLoriii

Hi guys,
Its not too long till the junior cert now and to be honest
I am freaking out. My main worry is that I'll go blank.
Another worry i am having is that up to this I've been getting
A's and B's in my english exams and I am freaking out- What happens if I dont get an A or a B in the actual? I would be so unhappy with a C

Any advice on things to study? Predictions?
Thanks

Well I did it last year, You sound just like me actually
But yeah, you need to know your poems well, the theme, the use of metaphor etc. in them...Don't bet your house on it but a question about a "love" poem hasn't come up in a while, something to look out for maybe. Unseen, just refer to the actual text a lot, can't go wrong. And with the play there's no getting around it, you need to have the following things on standby: the theme, an important relationship, important scene, and a general summary of the characters. It's the exact same for the novel, but I don't think a scene will come up because it did last year.
And honestly you'll be fine just try and keep calm on the day, and throw in a fancy word or in answers.

And be careful with time management!!! If you go over time just wrap up your answer and move on, don't spend too long reading/analysing it. I ran out of time and got 2 sentences down on the last question of paper two and got my A
So good luck

Thank you so much!
I pretty much know my play and novel inside out so I should be OK there!
Thanks for the tip!
