I understand the flaws to memorising, as such like we don't know the questions that will be given to us. *i wish*
Though if we really make an essay before hand, touching on all aspects of the syllabus, themes, quotes, techniques, different aspects of the set text etc. I believe it would work, but it's really a matter of knowing how to adapt your essay into the question.
So really, would you be better off learning throughout the year how to adapt an essay to any question or memorising 'quotes and techniques' as other people say? Like if we make a memorised essay + reading the text etc then we're also basically getting the same intimate knowledge that people who just memorised quotes and techniques did (as they are highly confident they can produce an essay for it on anything.) Though i'm sort of those people, who get this insecurity when i'm writing and feel as though nothing sounds right perhaps because it doesn't or the pressure of the exam.Or just the fact that you know there is always going to be someone better than you. idk.
I'm really confused and questioning this because i really believe that i don't express myself as fluidly as i like when i just have quotes and techniques, my argument structure becomes baffled. Though, with a memorised essay i feel more secure that all my sentences link and flow together, if you know what i mean?
This also makes me question about moving to standard :/ Thus maybe, i wouldn't have such pressure as our teacher in eng adv expects so high in comparison to the standard class as legit their teacher doesn't believe in them. My friend used a little more sophisticated words then she would usually do, and the teacher marked it as plagiarism when she really had not. Though, is it true that say your eng adv mark was 15/20 and you did the same exam in a standard booklet, wouldn't your mark be like 17/18 out of 20 due to the large percentage of people that are inadequate in standard? (in terms of quality and effort) & yes in the end i know it will probs align low.. though is it better to get in the top 3 rank for eng standard, or like 12th/20 for eng adv?
Please discuss,
