As a little kid you believed in fairytales,
that fantasy of what your life would be: white dress; prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill.
You closed your eyes and had complete and utter faith.
Eventually you grow up. One day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears.
But the thing is, it's hard to let go of that fairytale entirely because almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith,
that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true.

Language or Literature?
Sounds like Lit, which I have no experience on as I did Language (and failed miserably  )

Remember to answer the question, read some example essays on the internet, read the notes on sparksnotes.co.uk (google if that's the wrong link). Be calm, remember you have a good few months before the real thing in which to raise your grade.

If it's language, look up stuff on how to write your answer. It doesn't matter if you miss stuff as long as you've got it all in a structured order you'll get a good mark, like talk about the lexis of the text, then semantics ect... n finnish with graphology if you've got time.
I got a book from Whsmiths last year for mine what was really good it was for A and AS level english language(probably have one for lit too!). It showed sample exam questions and how to answer then best.
But don't worry about it too much, look to the mock as just a practise, before your real exam, cause you'll have more time to revise and experience from the mocks, that you'll probably do a lot better/have more confidence ect. sure you'll do great, and if not don't worry cause you have loadsa revision time before your real exam and can gain experience from the mocks =]
xx Hope everything goes ok xx

good luck but dont stress too much.
I was convinced id failed AS eng (i went to less than 50% lectures which was my own fault yes but i hated it). I got a C and promptly passed out in shock!
good luck anyway

you can take the book in with you right?
just make bare notes on the inside cover of your book. like, everything that you can think of that may help you.
study the book like hell tonight. make sure you know all about themes and characters cos isn't that like the whole question? "how is this theme/character represented?" blah blah.
don't worry about it. if anything, i FLOPPED my as level english. but in a2 i did retakes & i did much better.
