hahaha reminds me of my English trial. I finished it and had ink all over me as the pen was very leaky.
The side of my ring finger tends get fully black since it's rubbing my writing
Also got random black dots all over my jacket
Lol

Prepare techniques, quotes and analysis for all your paragraphs. Have an underlying thesis which links to everything you talk about.
What dates are your trials between?

Memorize important bits of your intro

Learn quotes+techniques for your body paragraphs and the main ideas - at least 3-4 for each paragraph
You'll be given the question on the day which becomes your thesis,
your topic sentence for each paragraph is your thesis which answers the questions and you come up with that on the day
Following, the topic sentence, add another sentence which explains your topic sentence, and leads into your first quote+ technique
a sentence for your quote and analysis
Write another sentence empty sentence that explains your previous sentences and analysis which also leads into your next technique + quote (optional)
If you decide not to include the sentence, then your next analytic sentence must flow with your previous analytic sentence
you must now include a sentence with no analysis that joins your previous analytic sentences together if you didn't include one previously
repeat till you've used your 3-4 quotes
conclude with a sentence linking back to thesis, question and your topic sentence


TL;DR
Memorize quotes and techniques and write it on the day

This coming Monday to the next Friday.

I prepared an essay for belonging and I mention about how not belonging can be flourishing etc in like 2 paragraphs, and in other paragraphs I mentioned other things like barriers etc. can I use this type of essay to answer questions that ask something completely unrelated to not belonging/barries for example, the 2012 question on time, or will I get marked down terribly for including irrelevant paragraphs. I find it unrealistic to memorize essays on belonging which can answer all the possible questions they ask, and I also find it unrealistic to compose an essay on the spot with just techniques/quotes/analysis in the back of your mind which is band 6 quality...
Geez. I'm shitting it for English

This is just like the PEEL paragraph structure. I guess I should've practiced essay writing before :( This is what I'm resorting to now though. Thanks!

Good luck man. A good idea to add is to write with a complex vocabulary. But don't make your essay too.. verbose
