Trust me, you do not need to memorise any essays because that takes a lot of time
What I normally do is just listen to quotes in class and write an essay on the quotes
Normally you can just repeat the question a few times and add in quotes and write nearly 3 pages
I do this at my school and I normally get 18/20, so I don't see why you can't do the same thing.

because I’m bad at english

I have consistently found in assessments that I do better with a refined memorised essay than on the spot, and I can manage 8 pages with memorisation which just isn’t possible on the spot

I also used to be bad at English because my teacher didn't tell me how to structure an essay
I used to just write without paragraphs or an introduction, and just answer the question
Are you using paragraphs in your essay? Because it is very helpful.

brah i aint memorise shit word for word and got all 17s on my modules. biggest scam and a waste of time and anyone i see do it is majorly silly.

just study your main argument points that u got from studying the module, make sure theyre broad and adaptable, have some short quotes, memorise those things and bob's ur uncle. do practice essays and get feedback. do not memorise a thesis ffs that has gotta be some of the dumbest shit ive heard ngl you don't even know the question like bro 😭

all that time spent memorising an essay word for word you could actually learn your broad argument points, inside out and learn how to adapt them and make them pointed to a question by learning what the rubric could possibly ask. you could also learn how to write good by submitting multiple practice essays on a broad range of questions and reading marking guidelines. but no these bozos are tryna memorise some shit to one question area then go regurgitate it and then feel shit bc they bottled their exam like it aint their fault.

anyway im angry bc theres sm kids at my school who bottled their english trial bc theyre idiots and didnt actually listen to how to study, and then theyre salty bc i did half of what they did.


and dont get me started on those flipping twits who go to the libraries and are like look at me im studying for so many hours like bro no youre going there bc u wanna socialise which is fair enough. but if u study efficiently at home then u can go do actual fun shit but instead ur in a library stressing eachother out tryna one up eachother sayin u study 4389212 hours a day. like i still managed to play sport, see my gf and get better marks than you and i did half the shit you did.

that is a funny story i think.
when creating this account, I wasn't sure what the hsc was becuase i thought year 12 was called atar exams and not hsc exams.
so i assumed hsc meant university for some reason, so i am starting university in 2024 if i get an atar
when ur parents said youre special they didn't mean special like how u think broseph.
