pls give tips on memorising essays faster i take a while and theres 6 days left

dont memorise the essay word for word, know your framework inside and out and your quotes and where they go, the technique and then the effect of it. Thats all you need to know, dont make the mistake of memorising word for word, because when youre in the exam, you risk sounding robotic instead of engaging with the question throughout the entire essay

You should also keep testing yourself whether you can explain what it means and how it links, talk to yourself, write it down in paper as practice

This is what helped me over year 12 im not sure if this is effective for everyone

3=2/3 examples, you should take away 2 marks per question leaving you with the amount of textual evidence and techniques you need

4 marks = 3 examples who in the right mind would waste time overdoing every question???

idk my teacher said to do examples for each mark but then everyone else says to take away 1

Dont do examples for each mark you will waste a lot of your time

guys is it js me or is this class of 2025 cohort extremely big, like every schools biggest cohort is this year. does that mean its gonna be harder to get a higher ATAR cos its a rank?

I doubt it, because it's a percentile system! so 0.05% of 1000 is 50, but 0.05% of 2000 is 100 - theoretically, double the cohort would get double as many 99.95s! (plz don't fact check my math)

i think taking away 1 is good as long as you have enough analysis i guess

The rule of thumb is example= mark- 1.

Yeah it’s the safety precaution method in case u get one wrong but like usually they’re quiet chill about the 3 and 4 markers so I would only do it for 5-6 markers like 4 and 5 quotes/techniques respectively

1 example less than the amount of marks always. 4 marks = 3 examples

[yourbestfriend]

im actually so stressed for english, but ive done all the past papers since 2019, so idk what else to do
(note, my practices were terrible tho so its not much of an achievement lol)

Do mark-1 quotes and add a topic sentence. For 6 marks though do two BPs with 2 quotes each + intro + conclusion. Unless it’s “compare” then 4 quotes per BP is good to be safe.

I feel like everywhere I check, the answer is different, but if the question specifically asks for language techniques, does that mean you can’t use structural techniques? And actually what are language techniques anyways?
