Only 1u for me too. So I won't bother to memorise essays considering I could be asked anything - and It's only 1u so it isn't very significant.

How many pages for the essay should we write?

Why would someone close this thread down?

Im ranked 1st in SOR1 and i got a near perfect mark in the trial with 49/50.

So i think im ready and am hopeing to pull off another awesome result but it all depends on the questions.

A shocken question can mean the difference between and band 5 and 6, no matter how much study you put in.

Anyways, good luck for Friday everyone :)

Yeah same, at the moment i can pretty much resite my study notes and the text book, so im hoping to be ready for all possible questions.

Im doing Chrisitianity and Judaism, christianity is really easy i think, but Judaism is a little harder considering they have nearly unlimited books and resources and ive dedicated myself to knowing them all.

All in all i think, two hours study tomorrow should bring me up to par for every question imaginable (i hope lol).

800 words is just under 6 HSC booklet pages (20 words) which I suppose I can manage in (how low do we have? 35 minutes?)

Do our marks get aligned in SOR? i.e to get a band 6 we don't literally need 90% do we?

i would spend more than 35 mins depending on how quick i do the multichoice.
SOR does get aligned a bit.
yer mid to late 80s would get a band 6 i guess,,,

I wouldnt try to memorise everything now, only small details or passages if you think you need to.

The goal (well my goal now) is to make sure i have everything i can stored in my brain in the simplist ay possible. I think simplisity is the key. If you keep things simple when you look at them again you dont have to deconstruct them all over again like the first time you read them.

Also, you can try and link information across the religous traditions or areas:
e.g both the jews and the christians take most of there ethical teachings from the ten commandments also known as the decalogue.

I find learning like that is the most efficient way (for me anyway).
