Re: studying

what a find really helps

so example
Explain the purpose of 1st person used in the paragraph.

When I'm doing my work, I underline the key words. In this context, explain and purpose. And as I write the answer, I do a little tick above the words as I complete what the underlined word has asked me to do.

Re: studying - by Frigid

Make sure that in whatever you're writing, the techniques that you're talking about relate back to the AOS (eg. belonging). It's not good saying that the reader can understand blah blah blah through the use of juxtaposition, because it doesn't relate back to belonging or discovery or journeys or whatever you're doing.

Also, make sure that you can write clearly and concisely. Don't just waffle on about nothing. It helps *alot* to handwrite a lot of essays before the exam. Make sure that you can write a good essay within the time frame of the exam (say 40 minutes).

Do loads of past papers and know techniques like the back of your hand.

Re: studying - by Frigid

Make summaries for texts that you will talk about in the four essays. Look at:
  • context
  • background/setting
  • meaning
  • techniques and important quotes

Re: studying - by Frigid

also write many, many, many practise essays between now and the HSC exams (time period may vary) and time yourself for how long you write for, so you get a good idea of how much writing you can get in during a 40-50 minute timespace
