Abstract
There are many different sorts of examinations in Literature; but they have a great deal in common. Whichever particular kind you have to face, the advice in this short chapter should help you. The first part focuses on revision: the kind of knowledge to take with you into a literature examination, and the best way of putting it into your head. The second part concentrates on the writing you do in the examination. As in the previous two chapters I assume that the most common form of examination writing is the essay, and suggest planned ways of practising so you are ready for the examination.
