This is a rather late response, although I hope that you still find it beneficial for the remaining day before the English Advanced HSC exam. Writing a general essay that you can memorise and modify according to the question should not be difficult. You simply need to ensure that the following elements are present throughout your essay:

• Techniques
• Quotes
• References to the rubric

These elements are essential and form your analysis. They will differ according to the module under which the general essay that you wish to write falls, as well as your prescribed text(s) for the module. In writing your essay, using a combination of your own notes and those of other students (see the Notes & Resources section as a starting point), both past and present, as well as existing essays (preferably from past students) is important. Your own notes will help you choose the specific techniques and quotes that you should include in your analysis, and the notes of other students will be useful in gaining new ideas and adjusting existing ones. Sample essays (you should ideally prioritise high-achieving/good-quality ones) provide a general structure that you can follow when writing your essay, include the ways of including references to the rubric and the specific parts of your essay where this should be done.

I hope this helps!
