and for all the doubters, yes, memorisation works if u do it properly - I got 92 in the english exam with memorisation.

yeah u do, in the elective section at the end...a couple of the qstns might b evaluate or assess, so u end up writing abt 2-3 pgs, which is prolly only equivalent 2 3/4 of a proper A4 pgOriginally posted by kini mini
What about the 8 mark questions in phys and chem? Aren't you going to write more than a page for those?
hehe good work!Originally posted by schwang_thang
omgosh minai gimme a hi-5!same here. crammed my head with quotes n themes n got a 92 4 the exam as well!
I agree. If you work out which method best suits your abilities and which yu are more comfortably using without hestiation then find it early in the year so you can practice and work on improving this method and hopefully better enhance your marks.Originally posted by MinAi
hehe good work!
yeah Im saying to the 03's, find whichever method works for u early in the year.
most definitely ... finding what suits you best is more often than not the easiest way to go ...Originally posted by zannaz

so very true ... without practice its really hard to perform to your best ... and practice improves writing speed ...Originally posted by !meeee!
most people i know who got a band six, myself included, think practice essays are the best way to go. whether or not you choose to memorise those or use them to help you feel prepared to tackle any question they may give you is personal choice
I agree with this. I wasn't expecting to get band 6 for Advanced. I think it's more important to maintain interest in a subject, as opposed to knowing it back to front. Instead of writing heaps of practise essays on the same question, do answers to a variety of different questions to get you thinking about broader issues, rather than making your mind dead by desensitising it to the thinking part by over-stressing about memorising everything.Originally posted by !meeee!
that's true. a lot of my friends found doing practice essays made them slack off by the time they got to doing the trials cause they were over confident. i guess whatever works for you
u need to be able to smack down 1 page every 5 mins for ext english maybe not for advancedOriginally posted by InfiniteQ
It takes me an hour to write 4 pages so I think 4 pages in 45 min should be a reasonable thing to demand from yourself.
omg you must be kiddddiiing... besides my english tutor said there's no point writing 10 pages of bullshit. If a 4 page essay is concise & to the point it'll score better.Originally posted by t-i-m-m-y
