sk So then in turn, when you memorised your essay plans, do you just practice essays accordingly?

oooh, sounds good! were these one page essay plans handwritten or typed? and is it wise to ignore the essay Q's asked in last yr's paper for the national studies and conflict? and so pretty much your study wasn't really memorising notes or content, but rather these essay plans, yes?

Well, that is the reality of the HSC; majority of students wouldn't care about 'learning' properly. Rather, they would (including me) prefer to memorise processes as an easier way of doing things. Yes, formulas in math aren't necessary as you can figure out what you need to do using pure logic...

I'm going to strongly disagree with you there. 2u maths is essentially a rote learning course for the most part; you memorise the process of the questions through practice, and the application only comes from slightly modifying your technique. Even in 3u maths you have to rote learn bits and...

depends on what works for you, tbh. some people rewrite because it helps them to increase muscle, whereas others read over their notes and try to understand what they are reading

Probably condense them down into the most important bits of information you can remember (and really, that's something only you can figure out yourself). Also actually understanding what your notes mean will make it easier for you to remember them, as opposed to rote learning.

nah

congrats on macq law justem :haha: but i thought you wanted to do med? what caused the change lol

I'd do 2.

yeah, no shit I knew that - hence why I was bitching lmao

Hmm fair enough (ffs, why can't MH Q's be broad like eng lol). But then it's annoying af because you memorise all of the syllabus content just for a measly essay question. I don't know how you survive haha.

thanks for the blunt response haha srsly tho, y?

sksksksksksksk what sub haha

My 19/20 Mod B trial essay (I do Hamlet) says otherwise. I had a generic essay for the module and just ensured I doubled my prep by adapting more than Mod A and C. So you can prepare an essay for Mod B (srs). The point is though to make sure you also know the whole text (or speeches if your...

i would think the majority of the state is memorising and adapting tbh :haha: did it work for trials tho?

anyone planning to memorise essays for modern history? might give it a try

Don't you have your teacher to do that for you?

sksksksksksksksk atm, you're looking at 97-98. so that means english must be done well in the hsc

I'll actually provide a different perspective. Little change in terms of rank between these years. But there's always the odd person who steps up their game. The top kids will usually stay at the top, and the bottom kids almost always stay at the bottom. It's the middle kids that will move...

Oh lol. I don't do any of those topics. :haha: Perhaps look at the trends of past papers (i.e. for one, BOSTES won't ask last year's essay Q's), and maybe you can gauge what is commonly assessed.
