Hi everyone how do you guys study for english? It seems that unlike many other subjects, amount of effort is not really proportional to marks. I really want to improve on English more for the last bit of my HSC, so for essays how do you prepare?
I've tried memorising a base essay however while answering the question in the exam, I found myself to be compelled to just write my memorised one and totally forget about the question! And how do you answer the question? When it seems I have written a stable thesis and answered the question, feedback is always that I indeed have not.
However when I did not memorise essays, time was a big issue for me due to the fact that I didn't have words already in my head, but that could have also been because of the fact that I did not really practice essays beforehand.
Ultimately, is there a routine that one must do to prepare properly?
