Having to write 3 essays in Paper 2 is a scary concept.
How do i memorise quotes for each module and their ORTs if there are SO MANY!!
Any tips and tricks that can help?

P.S. Let's not even MENTION the time limit  :-\

There are some tips at the bottom here about it! :)

I was all about writing and rewriting tricky quotes that wouldn't stay in! I think you call that muscle memory?

I find that putting them in a table and reading that to myself and out loud when I'm doing something to relax or going to bed helps, that way i can scan them quickly without having to read an entire essay! also, sticking the table on the glass of the shower is helpful but you probably only have 1 or 2 showers between now and paper 1 so not sure its effective for this point

hahaha  :P i wouldn't say that, it's not super effective. i think the general idea of it is to do relaxed revision while doing other activities. i also try to say them out loud to myself while cooking or things like that!

I'll try it while walking my dogs or sitting in bed.
P.S. My bed is a tad chaotic now that HSC is near (no room for sleeping)

Constantly re-writing them is the most effective way for me, but it can get heaps tedious.
Other ideas
- flash cards are are GREAT way to test yourself! esp the morning of, you can quickly flick thru them as a last reminder
- just having them visible everywhere you go/look often e.g the wall in-front of your bed, toilet door, around your laptop, phone lock screen etc.
- recording them and playing it out loud
- read them whenever you find yourself doing nothing, like bus/train rides

Sticky notes!!!!

I love sticky notes (or paper and bluetack even).
Just stick them up everywhere! Also I know its a bit late now, but my friends used to (still do sometimes) play "What's my line" with a specific text normally and we got:
3 points for identifying the person saying it, the reference and the remainder of the quote.
Also 2 points for a technique and explaining it. We just used a simple 4 player buzzer app that let us know who got in first.

Was a great way of studying, so fun!! We would tally up our points and then the winner would get something. We also had a running total but idk what happened with that, noone got the big prize haha

Consider something like this 2017ers. It may be too late for us, but not too late for some!!
