English P1/P2. Last chance to prepare, what's everyone doing? (1 Viewer)

[hschero]

I have memorised my creative (14/15 trials), Skrzynecki poems/written a few essays, and general analyses for Modules - BR/Frank, Hamlet & Smithsonian.

Is is risky to memorise complete essays, now? What do you guys think. Any help would be great.

Write an essay plan and memorise that instead.
It's a daunting feeling in an exam when you forget the next word and your whole essay becomes a flop.

 

[Demise]

Haha, I memorised my general analysis for BR/Frank and the Smithsonian too!

There are many pro's and con's to memorising essays, unless your essay is generic and can be moulded then i suggest you stay with what you have, otherwise memorising an essay can attribute to the fludiity of your essay wriitng in an exam which will add to its sophistication.

Personally, I don't think you should. I've learnt all ideas relating to modules and I feel good cause basically I can answer any question. Also adds pressure if you've only got the ideas you've prepared. Try to cover as much as possible

lol i'm seriously just starting to prepare now for my HSC exams. I haven't done any work since the trials.
Until Monday, i'm going to be relying on my prepared essays which i wrote for trials revision. However, as of now i do have a large set of class notes and i do know the texts pretty well.

I'm just intensely studying the rubric points, quotes, what I need to analyse, the basic concepts and key arguments I'd like to make varied to what the syllabus points are...if you get me? I used to, like many of you, memorise my essay. But in the HSC they could chuck anything at you. I'm basically just trying to make sure i know the texts like the back of my hand. Don't ask me why i'm on bored of studies instead of doing my work right now...cause I don't even know hahaha, PROCRASTINATION!!!!!
