The 5 minute PEA!

You want to be strategic about what to revise?

You don't think you have much time to dedicate to English revision?

Want to focus on ONE skill that will help you across both Language and Literature exams?

Then it's the 5-minute PEA. 

Why and how will this be helpful?

AIC: 45 mins

15 mins to plan

30 mins to write (6 PEA = 5 min PEA)

OMAM: 45 mins

15 mins to plan

30 mins to write (6 PEA = 5 min PEA)

Poetry: 45 mins

15 mins to plan

30 mins to write (3 PEA-conn-PEA = 5 min PEA)

Unseen Poetry: 30 mins

15 mins to read and annotate

15mins to write (3 PEA = 5 min PEA)

Q2 (Lang): 25 mins

5 mins to re-read paras + pick quotes (if not done already)

20 mins to write (4 PEA = 5 min PEA) 

So, during the advert break in The Voice - do a 5 minute PEA. 

During half-time, try to do 3 PEAs.  

You need to train your brain and hand to cope with this speed - remember, everyone gets sore hands in English exams!!
