Last, but certainly not least, study for your exams. This is one of the most important ways you can ensure getting a good grade in English Literature.
Don’t leave studying until last minute; English Literature is a very complex subject, with a lot of information to remember. Instead, start at least four weeks in advance; dedicate some time every day to revising and studying English Lit, and increase these as the day of the exam draws nearer. By the night before the exam, you should just briefly scan through your notes before getting a good night’s sleep. ‘Cramming’ for an English Literature exam the night beforehand will only stress you out.
It may seem like a lot of hard work to get and maintain good grades in English Literature. But it does have many benefits. English Lit opens your eyes to a whole new world, and can enhance your love of reading and seeking knowledge. Plus, it’s always good to develop and keep good study and organizational habits, which will not only help during your studies, but when you enter the workplace.
