- Do you think knowing as much Vocabulary as possible in preparation of the exams is a good idea? I never seem to have an issue with that what I'm writing about, just with my limited amount of vocab that I can use to my disposal.

The common mistake of people cramming for essays (selective school or VCE):

Use vocab you're comfortable with using. Your number 1 priority is that you write well with good structure, ideas and content. Then make sure your grammar is excellent and that the essay is of a reasonable length. Then comes the vocab.

Cramming an advanced vocab wouldn't be a priority of mine.
