VCE English is definitely not my thing.

Anyone got any advice for what I should do for preparation over the next few days?

hahah oh join the club. and english is supposed to actually be my thing, but im currently doomed.

i duno. write lots of detailed plans for a variety of topics. do all the past vcaa exam language analyses and point of view. read/watch your texts another time. get some good quotes and make sure you know how to analyse them and flesh out the ideas.

practice doing everything to time. absorb yourself in the texts. im thinking discussing my texts with other people would be nice atm, i need to absorb myself into the ideas, as silly as that sounds.

Thanks for the advice melanie.dee!

The main thing that's 'dooming me' is the time frame. I'm told I'm a good writer, but I can't write a decent text response in 50 minutes.

yeh, the only solution to that is to practice really

you could get at least 3 practice exams done between now and your exam. Don't do one on thursday though

English exams happen to be straining on the hand.

This is exactly my position. I have studied for no other subject.

im not doing any other subjects until after english! iv got either 6 or 7 days between all my exams (disregarding the 2 methods exams in there that i wont be studying at all for because iv written it off), so i should be right. obviously i have already done some study for them early, (well a bit) but i mean no studying for anything besides english from now until exam.
