I need to memorise five essays and two creative writing pieces. I've only finished memorising one. 6 left to go!

I've got about 6-7 quotes per paragraph in my essay. So that would equate to about 85 quotes.

Just wondering, do you need that many quotes per paragraph? The maximum number of quotes per paragraph that I have is four.

I don't think its necessary. Most of my quotes are quite short anyway (3-4 words), so I embed them into the essay. I think 4-5 should probably be enough.

tbh, quotes are the WORST thing about the entire HSC. I need quotes from various texts for Advanced and Extension, quotes from legislation/reports/media for Legal, historiography for Modern and frickin religious quotes for SORII. Thank God I have Biology to keep me sane.

Right now, I despise everyone who has good memories.

i don't find quotes hard to memorize since I'm familiar with the texts, it's more the analysis of these quotes which takes up the bulk of my time.

Edit: i also have a problem with spelling onomatopoeic, stoicism and bureaucracy! so i waste time memorizing the way these words should be spelt.

It's been how many years and I still struggle spelling onomatopoeia.
