Oh yeh woops. That leaves 5ish if I cut back on the procrastination
It's for economics btw; our first Eco and English assessments have identical formats.

What are some memorisation techniques? The classic rewriting it out 5 times?

 

[deloving]

Once you have a neat complete essay, construct a dot point version of it. Try rewriting that a couple of times. Read it over and over again. Now go back to the essay, read it over and and rewrite it. But mainly focus on the dot point version of the essay - put emphasis into memorising the main points of the essay. This way you won't be so stressed memorising every single word. Once you're in the exam, it's just a matter of putting all of that together back into the original complete essay. If you know the structure of an essay like the back of your hand, and know how to link and write sophisticated sentences on the spot, it shouldn't be a problem. Don't panic if you suddenly realise you wrote something down differently to how you remember it originally, as long as it makes sense to you.

I tried this method for my CAFS exam today, worked a charm! I didn't feel nervous and remembered every single point! Hopefully it will be enough to maintain my standard (or at least kick the other guy off of =1st place lol).
