Is it possible? (2 Viewers)

Hello
I was just wondering if it was possible to create generic responses for every module (for advanced English) and adapt it to the question on the day? If so has this worked for you?

I do:
- As You Like It
- Yeats (7 poems)
- Frank-Blade
- The Fiftieth Gate

You'll need a fair bit of adaptation, but yes, it's possible.

You'll also need to practise adapting your essays to different Qs.

for all of them ? because I know that they could be specific... have you tried this ?

yes, people have state ranked by using this method, and although it sorta takes away the point of the exam, some would argue that it is necessary as you are only given 2 hours per paper.

that's true
so for each essay discuss 3-4 major themes?
and for yeats break it down into 2 essays to use all poems ?

how else can you prepare for it besides memorising a shat load of quotes?

Yes it's possible! I have been doing this for like all my exams this year. It's SO much better and easier than creating an essay on the spot. Just practice practice practice adapting your essay to the set questions

I just cant get my head around the concept of memoring an entire essay. I mean sure, you can memorise general poits, but my understanding is people memorise essays word for word. In what way is this learning???
