So literature may be called a "SEEN" text. Something students can study for.
Texts that have been covered in class to be tested on later, here -using
literary analysis concepts?
How should students prepare for Unseen exams? Review the vocabulary? Go over
the HOTS, viz., reading strategies? Just practice answering reading
comprehension questions? Remember the old rewrites questions, cloze? I think
they were easier to prepare for. You had to know your grammar. Now I think
you'd better increase your world knowledge...
