hi! unfortunately, as far as I'm aware, you will have to just go through each paper...to make it easier for myself, at the beginning of the year, I screenshotted every short-answer/essay question for my topics and put them into separate documents based on module so I could scroll through later. practicing identifying which dot points a question addresses is honestly good passive studying though! maybe after HSC I'll make a resource identifying each dp but for now we must make do...

I did pretty well in trials - what I did was a 5-marker on each dot-point from religion post-1945 and religion non-religion, the highest mark value for each part of the tripartite (like an 8-marker on ethics, 8 on practice, 8 on person), and made essay plans for holistic religion, each aspect, and then peace. for me, getting familiar with these essay plans was more effective than writing them out over and over again - I personally am a proponent of knowing your arguments instead of memorising essays, though I do know people who do that, and it works for them. I also condensed my notes into flashcards - the process of which really helped consolidate my conceptual understanding.

also, practice multiple choice. if anything requires practice, it's that. everything else you can get away with knowing skeletons, and ensuring you have mountains of evidence. (I'd recommend sorting your evidence early, so all you need to do come exam is memorise! which takes a really long time...)
