What are you guys doing? Besides having your quotes and techniques [obv], which is better?

-Writing whole essays, nough said
-Writing essay introductions, list of quotes and their attached techniques that could be used

Im unsure.

#2 - Introduction, quotes, techniques and analysis. I'm also remembering the themes so I can argue them much faster in the exam.

maybe you couldn't adapt to your question. I remembered 3 essays for my trials and adapted and got 16, 16, 19. If you have the ability to adapt, then memorise your essay if not, then don't. I'm not this time, due to my lack of motivation and starting to study for paper 2 today in the morning.

pretty sure I'm going with no.2...last time I tried memorising all 3 i messed them up and got crap marks :L
Have everyone started to get the hang of theirs? I'm probs the only one who still over the place with theirs

I memorised my themes, quotes and techniques and a bit of the context

All I've been doing are practice questions

I think at this point all you can do is just try and come up with theses/topic sentences for as many questions as possible so you don't freeze up tomorrow :)

Option 1 all the way :) I don't mean memorising my essays, but I've been doing practice essays all day - timing 40 minutes, just to get into the swing of planning and writing quickly.

Good tip ^ Made me think about it, because I am terrible at adapting, I will get the intro done tho :).
