How should i prepare for my internal exam??

Hi guys,
My 3-hour English internal exam for unit 3 is approaching in a few days so i was wondering what i should be doing as effective preparation for it? I've done quite a lot of practice essays throughit the year in preparation for sacs, so I was plainning on going through all relevant feedback, notes, essays, and most importantly, making detailed plans for different types of topics that include relevant evidence, quotes, etc. for each area. is that suffice or should I try and do a timed essay for each AOS aswell? Time is not a problem for me though, mainly trying to formulate sophisticated and rich ideas as quickly as i can when under pressure..
Please let me know soon!
Thanks in advance :D

Ask your teacher what you could improve on

Thanks but my teacher implements that in the feedback she gives back after each essay.. I just don't know whether doing timed essays will be effective only a few days away from the exam, so Im asking for suggestions on the best ways to prepare myself :)

I also have a practice exam coming up in a couple of weeks.

Honestly, just keep doing what you're doing :). I don't think it's worth doing timed essays. At the most I would just write paragraphs and reviewing your structures, expression, vocab, and your teacher's feedback. Remember that this is only a practice; I'm sure you'll do fine :)

So you think it pointless doing timed essays as opposedsed to/in addition to what Im currently doing? Oh, and i forgot to add.. All 3 essays count as a 2nd sac.. which is kinda unfair but I'm looking at it as an oppotunity for me to redeem myself :D

Ohright. Well that makes things different then!

Maybe try a few timed essays over the weekend, or timed paragraphs. :)
