Thats all ive been doing the past 10 days at an incredibly slow rate

how far in are you

 

[Atterbatter226]

does anyone have any tricks for memorising or is rewriting the best way to do so?

depends on ur learning style ngl, i just read aloud nd rewrite til i get it even tho its boring asl
some ppl benefit from visual cues in frequently visited places around the house, or marking trigger words that'll remind u of a sentence etc.
on tht note, might help to memorise a structure and key points rather than word for word, rlly depends on u

 

[aqwerty13402]

anyone started memorisign yet or naw

thankfully some of my essays from my trials are extremely similar, so it hasnt been too hard

 

[sainzsgf]

for mod b do we need a critic quote? like i had one for trials that i learnt like the night before, but wasn't sure if it was a definite requirement, i do eliot and my teacher said to treat this module as a poet study rather than a poetry study so im a little bit lost

critic quotes are always a plus in the intro or something to provide a greater critical insight but like you can still get a 20 without them

 

[sainzsgf]

im struggling to find a good mix of context and analysis in my essay like i dont wanna rattle on and not have enough analysis, but i also don't want just pure analysis and no context, lmao whatever what i've got is what im writing i dont have the energy to change anything haha

Short Answer

• Four Separate Texts: If it’s structured this way, it could indeed be challenging, especially with comparison elements. Focusing on key themes and techniques across all texts will be crucial. Practice articulating your thoughts quickly and concisely, as you’ll need to manage your time well.

Common Module

• Paradoxes and Inconsistencies: This type of question often asks you to analyze complex human experiences. Make sure you’re familiar with texts that deal with themes of contradiction or duality, and think about how you can draw connections between different texts.

Module A

• Generic Question with Quote: Preparing for a "to what extent" question means you’ll need to practice building arguments that balance both sides. Consider how your first text establishes key ideas that resonate with or challenge the second text.

Module B

• Text-Specific Questions: These questions usually require a deeper analysis of your texts. Be ready to discuss how specific elements (like character development or themes) have changed or deepened your understanding. Practice connecting your insights to specific examples in the text.

Module C

• 20 Mark Discursive: If you hope for this format, prepare to construct a coherent argument, supporting it with evidence from your texts. Think about the discursive nature of the question and how to navigate different perspectives.

General Tips

• Practice Under Exam Conditions: Try doing practice questions within a timed setting to get comfortable with the pressure.
• Review Key Concepts: Make sure you’re clear on themes, character arcs, and important quotes from your texts.
• Stay Flexible: While it’s good to predict, be ready for unexpected questions. Understanding your texts well will help you adapt.

Good luck everyone!

when tf did i ask

 

[twilight_star24]

My predictions are:

Common mod (short answer)
2x 3 marker, 2x 4 marker, 1x 6 marker compare no image, very long texts with lots of reading

Common mod (essay)
Im HOPING for challenging assumptions but I reckon it will be the paradoxes or inconsistencies of human behaviour E.G 'How does your prescribed text examine the paradoxes of human behaviour something something in the human experience'

Mod A
Generic quote with to what extent does the latter composer reimagine the original (hopefully)

Mod B
Im hoping this is not the case but I really think we're going to get an extract/stimulus specific question u never know with mod B

Mod C
10/10 split imaginative OR discursive (they wouldn't be cruel enough to specify discursive would they???)

God I hope you are right for everything BUT mod b.

[TheLastHope]

They haven't done an extract since 2020, and 2023 exams were sooo nice so I'm 95% sure they will be hard on us

 

[twilight_star24]

no fr its all the same bs

what does paradox's and inconsistencies even meannnn (pls answer)

no fr its all the same bs but at least for common mod its all based on rubric so make sure you prepare something for each point eg storytelling, human emotions etc

 

[TheLastHope]

ye i got a 3 para, each a different emotion

 

[mvrcuriee]

ye i got a 3 para, each a different emotion

samee i somehow incorporate a paradox in every para thank God

 

[JosephSeed]

Definitely expecting a stimulus excerpt question for mod A, my school does Tempest/Hagseed and the pattern tended to be every second year

wait really. what am i suposed to do if it is

 

[jn3238291]

I thought Objective Correlative was essentially, you can't convey emotion by simply stating it, but through imagery (maybe accumulation of it), you can convey emotion

Thats what I think at least

I think objective correlative is lowkey so overrated by teachers IMO but that's just me

 

[igor9]

Thats all ive been doing the past 10 days at an incredibly slow rate

that's not good tbh, u should spread out ur subjects so ur not screwed after english rushing and doing content for other subjects.

 

[radagastthebrown]

I mean it is something unique to T.S. Eliot in a way, but yeah, it's literally just one concept. There's so much more you can talk about.
