It does eventually finish thanks to Adrenaline. But theres no guarantee its good lol. You might see a once sentence conclusion or something.

I didn't memorise essays or whole paragraphs tbh, just the analysis parts only. essentially I went into the exam with*** abt 800 or 900 words memorised, and then I would write an extra few hundred words on the spot* based on the question (intro, conclusion, big "linking" sections at the end of each body para)
woah how long did it taake to memorise

How do you just memorize quotes and techniques? Any tangible tips? I've been trying some...unconventional techniques...but I'm looking to see if there are better methods?

Please do not take the koala idea. Its not that I don't want you to copy but, its for your own physical and mental wellbeing.

I was forced to write a story on the koala as I had to write about an extended metaphor (surprise, surprise it was a flop) on a stimulus which required you to write a creative on a famous aussie.

Use the idea at your own peril.

no lol this is excluding procrastination

technically one "essay" could take me the whole day to memorise bcz I'd get distracted every 5 mins or just give up entirely for a few hours

nope

as far as memorising went, I only had techniques and their effects/some good examples memorised, not entire pieces, it was actually very important to know techniques specific to each text type (creative, persuasive, discursive). I usually talked about one thing in all my mod C writing i.e. the power of writing and literature, definitely had inspiration drawn from my prescribed texts but I didn't rlly have to think very hard for this section bcz this was my go-to and only theme, the only real effort was incorporating lots of text type specific techniques

Oath ... used to do the same last year, hasn't changed a bit even in university. Quite frankly, my room and the fridge were the 2 places I spent most of my HSC year in and around
