wait what is this essay about? are u like analysing a text u studied in class or is it like youre reflecting on your own essay like what is this

prioritise memorising your quotes and try memorise the analysis too. intro + topic sentences + linking statements have to be adapted to the q

 

[carrotsss]

it’s up to you whether to memorise quotes + analysis or essay, personally I memorise essays but it has to be a super refined and high quality essay (otherwise there’s no point), and you have to know how to mould it to the question - you have to be able to make every para actually answer the q and just include the question words a ton

just memorise as much as u can, it doesnt really matter if you cant get down the analysis word for word since you've written it before so at least you have some idea of it. Just try to write based on that.

you dont need to memorise i did all my trials without memorising a single essay (didn't have time okay) and still did well
but im def gonna be memorising for hsc
