Paper Two...
Hamlet - usually the questions focus on characters and themes. - Who it is about and What it is about. If they ask you to discuss HOW it was written, that is a style question, so focus on the LICSS - Language, Imagery, Characters, Structure and Setting.
The Comparative Question - Remember to make some comparative point at the beginning of every paragraph/point. Do not deal with one text on its own unless you are doing the 30/40 mark question.
Poetry - Enthuse about the poet and think BIG - focus on the poet's style and themes in general, but zoom in to give detailed examples.
Unseen Poetry - Use all the technical terms to take the poems apart and impress the examiner. Again the LICSS will be useful.
Show off - you are in good company... Shakespeare, Heaney, Plath, Rich, Frost, Kavanagh, Boland, Ibsen... they are all walking into the exam with you and they are DYING to show off how great they are... so just let them!
Oh yes - And Watch the Clock and read over all your answers before the end.
MEP all the way on this one
