can someone give me advice with english short answers, I'm so bad at like answering the questions and picking the right examples. Please help
Use simple techniques like metaphors or similes. You won't get marked up for harder techniques. If the question if asking about what the piece is trying to convey (e.g what tone/what relationship), make sure to be clear from the topic sentence specifically what is conveyed (e.g melancholy tone, positive relationship)can someone give me advice with english short answers, I'm so bad at like answering the questions and picking the right examples.

with the short answers you have 45 minutes to get 20 marks so that’s just over 2 minutes a mark . So if it’s a three marker you should allow 6 minutes so when you come to the 5 or 6 marker you have enough timecan someone give me advice with english short answers, I'm so bad at like answering the questions and picking the right examples.

Would you recommend answering the questions in reverse order? (So from the highest mark question to the lowest) and do you think reading the texts in reverse order could be more efficient as the last text is always quite long and harder to analyse.with the short answers you have 45 minutes to get 20 marks so that’s just over 2 minutes a mark .

Eg 3 marks 6 minutes etc
identify a technique . If that’s an issue look at tone and imagery and structure that will show some form of human experience because the questions will be based around the syllabus anyway
I’ve marked hsc so feel free to ask any questions
you can do that but it is too easy for some to give them too much time . I would suggest that most people will get at least 2 out of 3 or 2 out of 4 so don’t compromise by losing those marks to get 6/6 etc . I suggest you make sure you have sone time ( probably around 15 -20 minutes or so ) to answer the small marks and allow 25 minutes approx for the 7 or 6 markers .Would you recommend answering the questions in reverse order?

Should I also be looking for techniques while reading or just trying to get through the text and understand as much as possible before the time is up?
