It can be demanding to write a great English paper, especially a paper that will land you an “A”. With the right planning, content, structuring, editing and reediting, you can create a solid English paper that will help, rather than hinder, your overall grade. However, you may have to write one or more essays on the fly in class as an exam, and even if you follow many or all of these steps, there is no guarantee you will get an "A" on your paper. If you put forth your best effort and make some strategic decisions, you may achieve high marks.
