    Just know your studied novel, drama, and poems inside-out. Quotes, themes, etc.

    Did your English teacher not give you any notes on the poems?

    For Drama, flick through the drama (I am doing Romeo and Juliet), know the key scenes and quotes from each.

    Fiction is similar, except you don't need any quotes for your novel - so make sure you know it really well.

    Poetry is my worst section as I have about 10 poems for this. For themes, I learned Dulce Et Decorum Est - the theme of that is war (and death) ie. what it is about.

    Learn off a few lines from each poems and know them really well.

    For the unseen questions, make sure you have 2 or 3 good paragraphs, backed up by a quote from the section.

    They will never ask you to summarise a scence so you dont need to know any scenes to do well , just know the most important scene , the scene you must enjoy and you will be grand :)
