Hello, I have to memorise 4 essays for a test I have on the seventeenth of Feb
Now for the first question I know the question, so it's not a problem
However, for the second essay it could be one of the three Christianity aspects, so I might memorise 3 essays so I'm prepared

Will I be able to memorise this in one week?

Or you would wing it? Or actually learn the content for 2nd essay

Not a good idea for any subject apart from English, but it'll be good practice for Paper 1 and Paper 2.
Gotta memorise 'em all!

Apart from English, I would strongly recommend AGAINST memorising full essays (I never memorised extended responses, unless I actually knew the exact question, for Business Studies and Economics. And this only happened once during Year 12 for me when I had a 20% weighting MARKETING Business Report assessment in school and they gave us the question beforehand).

Go ahead and memorise the 1st essay. Sure.

But just know ESSAY PLANS (for structure and all) and key points for your 2nd essay question. In this case, it'll be 3 different plans/approaches.

Giving a direct answer to your question - yes, it's not too hard to memorise 4 essays in 7 days.

It's possible. Whether or not you should do it is another question though

It is possible to memorise 4 essays in one week - how quickly you can do it depends on how much experience you have with memorising.

SOR is one of the few subjects where you can get away with memorising responses - although I would advise against memorising whole essays. You should try to memorise body paragraphs which can be moulded to the question.

It's possible

But it's much wiser to memorise key points.
