Should I rewrite the essay multiple times or should I just actively recall by reading?
For me I do both, i feel like when i’m trying to first memorise it I write it or type it and check whether my sentences are the same/similar and then once i’m confident I just kinda recall and say it in my head ifyk what i mean.

i mean since you're in year 10, it wouldn't matter too much. For the two written exams I had in year 10, I personally didn't bother memorising any essay (or even writing any essay lmfao, i still got marks of 90%+) and just picked key quotes+techniques+ideas to memorise

even with memorising essays in year 11-12 you have to write an essay that's easily adaptable and know what to do if the essay qn doesn't fit some bits of your essay, and to be honest for someone in year 10 that feels like too much effort, just enjoy your last year before stage 6
