how is everyone studying for modern essays (1 Viewer)

[michymushroom]

no literally because section I and IV is bearable but i have no idea how i'm meant to memorise all the content for every single possible essay question we could be given

anyone have any practical advice? how much of a risk is it going in with only a few prepared essay questions?

how am i meant to memorise the evidence, cause and effect for every single syllabus dot point?

ANY HELP!?? thanks guys

My teacher has been giving us past HSC questions and getting us to dot point our responses (bodies, points, evidence etc...) for a bunch of different questions in a topic. I've been noticing that many quotes/evidence/points are useful for many different syllabus points and questions so it might work for you as a comprehensive way to get down notes.

Idk just do what works for you, just make sure to practise! (which sucks I know)

I am feeling the same way as you but I have written essays or at least essay plans for pretty much every dot point in the syllabus for the national study, peace and conflict, and change in the modern world topics, which is like 10 - 20 depending on the topic. This may not work for everyone i'm not reccommending it but it is so far working for me. Before my trials I was regretting this approach because i felt like i couldn't remember any details or evidence like your saying, but I did surprisingly well on that trial so even though i thought i was screwed clearly this approach worked.

I know its excessive and a lot though - theres definetly other ways
