Yes. IIRC she said we are not supposed to know all 5 by heart, and recommends us to just roll with something along the lines of "3 by heart and other two a bit here and there"
However I am from quite a low-ranking school, so take it with a pint of salt. And she said it before the trials so it's in like July hence my memory is fuzzy.
i feel a lot better now, cause we spend 2 lessons on rhapsody and my teacher said that we should still learn it in case it comes up

We spent like 2 weeks on it lmao. She did say that also, but again not by heart. If you're that concerned you can just have 3 quotes + a form then combine it with the stimulus but that should be enough. I think. Not a band 6 student so lmao

yep, the current syllabus has been up since 2019 and finishes for the class of 2026
Post-2019 syllabus is so BS. The previous ones were specific like Discovery or whatever, and now it's "Texts and human experiences". What the helly is that supposed to mean?

We are doing the drama that is The Crucible. Ngl it is lame and kinda soap-opera-y personally. Kinda glad I did not get to do 1984, because 1984 is my favourite text and I would hate NESA to ruin it for me with all the rubic crap they're on.

oh god that is such relieve! so you don't' need to prepare paragraphs for all 5 poems!?
No, just find a paragraph u can slot the extract into that thematically links. You may end up removing one quote or shortening the analysis of one in the paragraph, though, because time is always short...but its way better than pre-preparing 5. (imo)

They changed the syllabus cause they said that "people were memorising their essays in the old one".
