I have my English assessment on Monday and I have not done a draft due to some factors out of my control . I'm so scared. I have my ideas and quotes but I don't think I have enough time to fully prepare an essay before the assessment (in class). How should I spend this weekend preparing for the assessment? Also, I really struggle with starting my essay intro/thesis so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

NO SAME dw. i also have to do a justification paragraph and vignette for the hand in component of my assessment....
honestly i would just remember your ideas and quotes sorted by paragraph (i remembered mine in chronological order for my prelim and it helped - but that assumes you have a base essay of sorts) and you'll do fine

My advice is write a generalised thesis (no need to memorise an essay), and make it adaptable. They can only ask you questions related to 4 topics: collective and individual human experiences, human emotion, storytelling, and paradoxes/anomalies/inconsistencies. Advice is to write the generalised thesis on collective/individual experiences or human emotions as they’re easier to adapt to each other. Then if the question asks about storytelling, adapt it to say how storytelling is used to discuss collective/individual experiences or human emotions. If the question asks about paradoxes, adapt it to discuss paradoxes in human experiences or human emotions.

don't u touch kids

 

[ronny thamer]

god I hate english to death

same, at least that is a collective human experience

 

[PhoenixG1rl]

same, at least that is a collective human experience

i wonder how much I'd fail if I wrote my entire essay about the collective human experience of hating english instead of actually answering the question?

Ok so like my English assessment (in-class) is lowkey TOMORROW . Does anyone have any advice on how I can make sure that I make a good thesis statement in relation to the question in order to set a good precedent for the rest of my essay? (Context: Common Mod)

Pray tbh, but seriously tho, I use the hardest words I can think of on the spot and it usually works

Yeah i agree with use hard words, and also use the words from the question. The teacher's probably half skimming by the time they get to your paper and as long as you sound like you know your stuff and the essay has the vibes of the question they won't think too much of it. Sprinkle the words from the question all over your essay and English writing becomes kinda chill (disclaimer im not an english nerd i hate english)

im still not done with english lmao. looks like i'll be pulling an all nighter for this fbuwgefewoifw

 

[Hehehe22]

Hey is it just me or do you feel really mid about every single exam you've done this term... like they haven't been disastrous (but only cause you stepped up your dedication to study) but none of them went THAT well

Cause I'm used to doing really well in some but perhaps flopping a couple, but idk why I think I might prefer that

nah same i've basically been getting straight 80s this term lol. but i would prefer not to flop something like english.... like I'm gonna do eng adv next period and only 1 hour before the in-class component do i get emailed that we're not allowed to bring a page of quotes into the exam and HAVE to bring in our prescribed/related.... which I left at home!! idk if i can salvage my rank after this LMAO i'm astronomically cooked. kissing that 95+ atar goodbye

I am so done this term does anyone know if u can make a comeback next year

 

[lunaaaa4403]

no it's impossible. you only have 75-80% of your internal mark to make up. if you got 50% and get straight 90%s next year you will get internal of 10% if you're lucky. idk why you haven't dropped out.

OH NO that ain't good... but 80s aren't bad, so you could surely recover if you get 90+ in most subjects next year
