I need some help with time management and writing speed as well as knowing how to answer questions in relation to the rubric.

writing speed is just practice. in an exam situation, your not going to have much time to afford thinking and writing - most of the your writing content should basically be automatic and straight from your brain to paper. that being said, you do not want to have pre prepped responses and copy them down without adjusting to the question.

theres a really fine line between the whole 'pre prepped response' strategy, especially for subjects like english. Most teachers advise against it, but you just need to find the line where you have an adaptable essay stored in your mind so that you can write it with ease and without having to think too much in an exam. there are obvious exceptions for when the questions given will need some more conceptual forming then others.

Could you provide me some to at least give me an idea of what an adaptable essay looks like.

Rather than answering a specific question, an adaptable essay is formed more generally and conceptually. Focus on the key syllabus points and create an essay around it. Also pre-prepping evidence for quotes/analysis. More so for english, I would create an essay that specifically just analyses texts with a thesis that directly addresses the syllabus. From then, it all comes down to practice and skill for you to create an essay in the exam which answers the question, but also providing an a judgment on the syllabus.

Just note though, because you cant exactly predict the question, there are pros and cons about having an adaptable essay, it just comes down to preference and how well you perform in an exam. some people may struggle creating theses in exam conditions, and others may find it easy to formulate a thesis in an exam. Imo, the safest would be to fully understand texts/content before going into an exam so you fully know all the key points. Personally i dont do humanities like history, but I have heard that people memorise a bunch of essay structures before going into an exam and do quite well.

Hi!
For writing speed, you can put batteries on your pens and take them off in exam time so you can essentially "train your hand."
