The three aspects of the English EOY exams are Essay/Situational Writing, Comprehension and Literature.
Essay and Situational Writing:
To prepare for this is hard. Writing essays is almost an on-the-spot thing. It takes creativity and careful writing to achieve a good mark. With an unknown topic, one can only perhaps practice their grammar and vocabulary skills to avoid losing marks.
Comprehension
This one could do with some preparation. One has to understand the passage, which is where understanding prose proves to be a valuable asset. Also the vocabulary section also can be helpful to gain the extra 5 marks. Micro Fiction would help in the Summary. Time management is crucial.
Literature
There is one definite factor here. Animal Farm - Squealer. One should read up on the notes given to prepare for the exam. For the unseen piece, reading up the notes and previous assignments is also useful. Of course a good vocabulary can be put to good use in shortening and making it the answer "tighter".
For all the components, one factor is important. A good vocabulary. To obtain that, one should read more often and more widely.
