How many quotes memorised for each module? Or how many per essay if memorising essay?
for common module and mod b: 3 per paragraph. so 9 in total for each.
for mod a: 3 per paragraph. i have 4 paragraphs, 2 on one text 2 on the other - so it's 12 in total.
for mod c: 3 for the reflection (1 structural, 2 literary).

that's like 24 quotes in total?? it's the bare bones bc i cba to memorise more outside my essay + 90% of the time u can mould the analysis of ur quotes to fit the essay q anyway

8-12 per module is a good number (according to teachers and past hsc band 6 students). Not too sure about them if you're doing poems though. Idk how some people are remembering like 20 quotes per module. Module C is even less, maybe like 5 quotes from your texts just in case there's a reflection

Stick to 3-4 quotes per paragraph, 9-10 or so quotes per essay for EVERY module. How the hell can you analyse effectively with so many quotes??? And I know I'm repeating myself from other threads, but I have to... DON'T MEMORISE PRE-PREPARED ESSAYS. It's the biggest English death-trap imaginable yet so many people do it.
