I use a very dumb method of mindmapping: remembering what the words look like on a physical page, what the sentences look like physically, and so on...I've heard mindmapping can help with the flow of your argument. Also apparently it helps a lot with retention idk
@lolcti !!!i know a lot of people write it down but i always found the quickest way (+most fool-proof way) to memorise is by reciting your essay out loud in chunks repetitively until you could say it aloud word for word. recite one chunk, then recite the another chunk, then see if you know those bits by heart by reciting both chunks together, rinse and repeat til you can recite the whole essay by heart. i memorised 3 essays + a discursive and a creative in the 2 days before my trials with this method without writing it down at all. i have trouble with sitting still and focusing so pacing around while reciting my essays was really helpful as well
