Area of Weakness on ELA Regents Exam and have people comment on how to help you

What is part 4?
Critical Lens is Part 4 and it consists of reading a quote and interpreting the quote. This part of the regents also involves supporting the quote through 2 works of Literature depending or not on whether you agree or disagree with the quote. You must also use literary elements to support your interpretation.

My Weakness:
My weakness in this part of the regents is remembering with exact detail both of the works of literature. I don't always remember the characters, plot summary and of course where to identify the literary elements.

How I can improve:
1. I could briefly review two novels before the regents to assure my self that I know these novels with exact detail (but i wouldn't read these novels due to the shortage of time...it's impossible).
2."decide if you want to agree or disagree. it might be easier from there."-Hanna Jang
3."I think that you should read the summary of the novel and write down key ideas of each novel and just revise them until the regents!"-Marya Altaf

First of all you must use the 2 best works that represent the critical lens. Second, do a scratch outline, list the literary elements that best fit the quote use the ones that are in the guidelines. Finally, you should review your story maps to remind you of the texts.
