How do I know which quotes to learn?

When revising for English Literature exams, it is crucial that you judiciously select the quotes that will get you the most mileage in an exam. Make a bank of 10-20 quotes for each text you study that you have already used across a number of practice answers or that you find memorable for any particular reason. For each quote, write it in the middle of a sheet of paper and spend 5/10 minutes drawing as much analysis out of it as you can and identifying any links to other parts of the text. This will not only help practice close analysis but also gives you a large bank of quotes to choose from regardless of the question in the exam.
