Recite and rewrite. Possibly record too, if that helps.

But most importantly, make sure you completely understand what you've written.

English (Advanced): 94/100, 87/100= 91/100

English Extension 1: 47/50,43/50= 45/50

94 for Advanced.
You need to be able to write analytical, sophisticated, powerful essays, memorise them, and be able to adapt them to any question. You should also have a thorough knowledge of your texts, if you need to call upon info not in your essay to answer the question. But the rule of thumb is: answer the rubric. questions comes from rubric. answer the question.

i disagree... memorising essays is probably the worst way to go about it. Its better to understand concepts, improve your vocabulary, memorise quotes.. far better than just memorising 1500 words and having no essay writing skills when you reach uni
