Yeah same. I was struggling for time in trials, and that was just pretty much spitting out my memorised essays.
Maybe like a minute to write like a key word from each quote and a key word from each topic sentence so I know what quotes go where. Because I'm a slow writer I can't spend too much time planning
Same... but I think I'll need to write up a quick plan to adapt my memorised stuff to the question. Otherwise it'll just be my generic with different topic sentences slapped onto it. That worked for trials lol but HSC questions are gonna be more specific I think.
When planning out your words you shouldn't be adding any extra and hoping adrenaline will do the rest. Assume what you can write now is what you will write in the hsc.
Only 2 quotes per para (perhaps you have longer quotes)? I would think 5 is solid, for variety and quantity
I'd say a minimum of 3 per paragraph
If you did 99 papers per subject, then very likely
Woah wtf I have three but they're 300 words each. Will I get rekt or?
IDK you should be fine, my essay structure is weird but as long as it gets good enough marks i'm happy with it, I used this structure for trials and got 13/15 so it should be okay.
I had something similar. People write in different ways.
, don't think it will be marked in the hsc doe
