as per above
but not all methods work for everyone - u have to find the method of study that best suits u. For me, I would find it extremely difficult to string togther something sophisticated in the 40 mins we get for each module (and the area of study extended response) - so that is why I gave myself time after the trials to sit down and perfect a general essay on each module, so I could take that into the exam as a base, and add/take away from it during the exam, depending on the direction of the question, and the form asked. For this method to work, u have to almost guess the type of questions asked. As I said earlier, for certain modules, its easy to predict what kinda questions they can ask, so as long as u understand what u are being asked to learn from your texts based on the module studied under, u should be fine in writing a really broad esssay that covers everything important - that is likely to be asked an exam situation. Having said that, u also need to practice writing speed, cos that inherently becomes a problem if u wanna get down all u have in the time given. I considered myself a fast writer, but I also write large, so given that I memorised my essays word for word, I managed to speed write 15 pages for each module in the Paper 2 for the HSC - in which case u need to adapt to the question "on the fly" - ideas just flow through provided u have a thorough understanding of the text and the ideas/techniques/values/context/blah blah. I find that there just isnt any time to actually think in that exam - u jus have to write.
Hope that helped...?
