also i thought that if it's like a 6 marker, we generally use like 5 pieces of evidence ?? or even 4 if the analysis is substantial

Yea I always use 4. No way am I gonna finish with 6 lol.
they're not that big tho it's literally just "the collective is reinforced through "quote" where the [techniques] elucidate [experience] and fixate responders [effect on responders]." sometimes the effect part is omitted.

ALSO MCQ IS BETTER I HATE SA ESP FOR ECO BECAUSE YOU NEED TO BE ON FLEEK WITH EVERY WORD FR

i also use the same syntax usually, but my teacher said that using a ton of quotes without in-depth analysis kinda sounds like ur listing examples and not rlly evaluating?
im not too sureeee but ig 4-5 examples for a 6 marker is also sufficient time-wise

if its good doing less examples with more analysis i can do that actually its less of a burden. ive just been told a mark for each example is benchmark

i just choose quotes that have to do with the experience and seem meaty only then do i try to find techniques. if you're stuck use form, modality, register, voice etc.

brooo sameeee
also try using stuff like diction, syntax and use of personal pronouns or narrative voice - it literally works well for all written texts

You gotta memorise different time periods as well. Just in case the stimulus doesn't fit the time period of your examples.

Lol you can still talk about your own examples even if there is a stimulus. The stimulus is just there to guide you but you do have to talk about it a bit.
