    How to memorise essays effectively?

    Generally its more effective to break down the points into dot points, dont know why, but it always seems to work better than just straight paragprahs for me.

    Subjects!!!!

    If you are doing ext 1 English solely because you don't want an odd 13 units, when BOSTES take final marks they divide 2 unit courses into 1 units. For example they may only take half of your chem results. It really doesnt matter if you have an equal amount of units.
