Hi fellow BOSers, I have an english prelim exam tommorrow morning and i have no idea how i should study!
I'm going to be writing an essay on

1) Othello
2) comparison between The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger and Six Degrees of Separation (a film by Fred Schepisi)

Do you guys think it better for me to memorise past essays i've done for both or just to memorise quotes, techniques, examples etc for the exam?
all suggestions are appreciated :)

Well, you don't know what the question is for the essays, so I suggest you memorise quotes you think are important, the technique of it and the effect.

This is pretty much what I do LOL
GOOD LUCK ! =)

normally i would memorise essays and practice writing what you've memorised, but it would help alot to understand the concept of the texts and df to write in the format the exam paper would ask (i.e speech, letter etc.) ;)

You're so smart, you ask the question the night before the exam. Even if you got a fast response before the damn exam, you'd be cramming like hell.

Lrn2study.

Having said that, you have the same texts as me, apart from the Six Degrees of Seperation. ;)
