They're only about 7 lines each. Just to clear they're not pages long :D

who's your exam board?

You'd probably know if it was IGCSE.

for my igcse english we got a big book of around 15 poems and we just went through and annotated them all.. Don't feel you have to learn each poem off by heart. All I did was read over the poems a few times each before the exam and try to take a mental note of some of the IMPORTANT annotations I made. It should be easy enough to remember a good amount of the notes you made when the exam comes- remember, you don't need to write down EVERYTHING you noted down on the poem when you went through it (assuming you have :O) so don't feel like you need to :).

Yeah you'll be fine!

You've just described what we have to do. We got a book with poems and we have to learn 15.

oh right, many of mine were over a page long :(

We also had 10 short stories (i.e up to 10 a4 pages long) to learn too... As long as you understand the jist of the poems/stories (if you have stories to learn too) then you should be fine :).

@Froggydoo; well it COULD be IGCSE then.. I'm not sure. I didn't take the gcse so I'm not sure if people who take that exam have to learn poems/stories too..

As I said above, do you have stories to learn as well? And who's your exam board?

Thanks for the help :) and @Demi;

Ah its wont be igcse then.

Haven't you done any past papers yet, or at least looked through some questions? I'm surprised you don't know your exam board :O

We only started it 2 lessons ago. At the moment we're looking at 2 poems and analyzing the important text.
