General Questions

Hmm

Depending on how you argue the related text you can use it for any module. (Obviously I don't advise the same related text for all modules but you can pick which one you use which.)

Umm.. The only module which needs a related text is Module C isnt it? And then the AoS
EDIT: Forgot Mod A because in standard to compare texts, one is prescribed one is related?

Yeah only in advanced do you get prescribed two texts.

But even though a related text you thought was good for Mod C may be better for the AoS. Which leaves my point still valid.

Of course, it's up to you how you argue it though.

Stuff in here relate to once the trial block has started but why do you claim to feel underprepared?

Rui's guide above is awesome! Beyond this, relax. This is just a Trial run, there is no need for it to cause you undue stress just study when you can, rest often, target your big problem areas (the topics that make you queasy thinking about them), and besides that, just do your best!! The biggest part of Trials is figuring out what works for you in big exam blocks, it's a testing ground. Yes, it counts towards assessment, but that's not a big deal. Figuring out what works for you is a much more important aspect in my opinion

I have all my notes, but not all my quotes, and no time to study them properly! I normally like to hand-write them to get it in my head but obviously there is no time for that... so I feel like I'm just going to remember nothing

You'll be amazed at how much you remember when you actually get into the exam room!! For both Paper 1 and 2 before going in i couldn't remember squat about my ORT's. In there, quotes and techniques just naturally came to me. Weirdest feeling especially when I had not used my Paper 1 ORT for 9+ months.

But if you are positive now you will be positive in the exam room. If you are miserable now and stress out then you will probably stress out in the exam room. It is all about mindset.
I know im such a hypocrite lol

If you want to cram your quotes, the best way to do it is to just spend 2 hours memorising out loud. Read your first quote aloud. Turn around and repeat it out loud 3 times. Turn back, read the first and the second quote. Turn back around, repeat both three times. Keep that going, then when you are done, do it in reverse!

It is the most boring thing ever, but it works, I crammed all the quotes for Paper 2 in a couple of hours this way (and there were well over 100 of those)

I managed to memorise my quotes (and relevant techniques) by just copying them over and over again until they were drilled into my head. After a while I started writing them module by module without looking at the sheets

Then I wrote them in the order module A -> module B -> module C -> AoS -> rinse and repeat.

By the end of it they were absolutely in my head.

will applying them through practice essays help you remember it better?

Both are awesome ideas!! My bedroom wall was full of Math formulas, so I took another route with my English quotes, but it definitely works as long as you give it time to sink in and practice essays definitely help as well!

Thanks everyone, these are wonderful tips! I will definitely have to have a serious quote learning day this weekend.

Lol by the end of that i would be going  mod a -> mod b -> mod c -> aos -> drown out sorrows with bleach and give up on life/procrastinate
But i agree with you fully quote learning is so long and arduous...
