    SOR I - Section 3! YOUR THOUGHTS

    but do you not see, the questions didnt relate to the syllabus! I would have had no issue with a quote that was difficult but related to the syllabus! For example, I did buddhism, the two quotes related to the noble eight fold path and "true meditation" which the quote said was meditation...

    SOR I - Section 3! YOUR THOUGHTS

    Memorising for Trials

    I agree, except make sure if you are doing poetry, you have as my teacher calls it "a working knowledge" of the poems that you have not mentioned in your memorised essay. As they treat the collection of poems as a single "text" and can ask you to either, talk about specific poems or specify that...
