[sakinluvo]

guys I have my eng prelim, if I have 5 quotes per paragraph (I got 2 paragraphs for body ) is that okay my teacher wants more but its unrealistic for 40 mins to have more.

 

[WeiWeiMan]

ive always done 2 quotes and 2 body paragraphs #yolo. i def would not be doing 5, if i was you id choose your best 3 quotes and flesh them out more and add more analysis + audience impact

Well I feel like if you included any more quotes you wouldn't really have time to have detailed analysis, I find 4 quotes per paragraph a bit much LOL. Like I think generally an essay at abt 1k words is reasonable for 40 mins

I mean considering you have 5-6 I think it's good for yr11, I did like around the same. My teacher recommended to do 7-9 in preparation for yr12 but I didn't rlly listen and still did good. 5 quotes will be good assuming each paragraph will be around 500 words, I'm assuming?

yeah my teacher told us our competition will have 10 but I feel like that has to be exaggeration

do you think 3 quotes per paragraph (its like 400-500 words for a body) is sufficient? I rlly don't wanna memorise too many quotes

 

[jilly12]

from memory, my teacher says that there should be a minimum of 3 quotes per paragraph but I've heard from my friends in year 12 they do fewer quotes but analyze the heck out of them.

 

[earlgreyteawithmilkfoam]

its probably like small quotes which they embed into their analysis. that being said it depends on the module and structure you're doing, i think something like mod a it's def possible to have 10 quotes if theyre short esp since you're comparing two texts. there's diff ways to approach it tho, id say 3 is just scraping it, probs id recommend 4 minimum per para, i think you can strike a good balance between detail and good quote amnt w that number.

 

[foxisaro]

do you think 3 quotes per paragraph (its like 400-500 words for a body) is sufficient? I rlly don't wanna memorise too many quotes

Yeah definitely. I know a lot of people who do 3 quotes per paragraph for their essays

 

[aerospace21]

Bruh, I have just bombed my english and earth test badly- I studied so much. Im burnt out, cannot be arsed to study anymore Ive honestly given up at this rate

We're all cooked, send help

 

[aerospace21]

Guys I'm cooked for my chem prelim. Which topics should I focus on (I have 10 days)

I'm personally putting pressure on the main topics like Atomic Structure and Periodicity, Chemical Bonding, Quantitative Chemistry, Chemical Reactions and Thermodynamics, good luck

 

[fesi2w3]

I totally bombed my Eng prelims, didn't even finish my second essay TT I'll make sure to lock in for yr12

 

[svad]

Has anyone else lost all motivation during prelims? I lost motivation in the MIDDLE of my english exam

After 3 hours of continuous writing I literally was not bothered writing anymore. I wrote 3 pages for the poetry section when the minimum should've been 4. I had time to write, as well as some analysis, but i could not be bothered so I just read over my SAC section in the remaining 15 minutes.

I don't know why but I cannot bring myself to do anything but sleep, and I've been bombing everything. I have SoR tmr can and I cannot be assed to study any further. Im worried because it's only the first week and I have 5 more exams. Is anyone else feeling so burnt out?
