3 essays a week

Hi all,

Is it still possible to achieve a score of 45+ if I haven’t been practising at least 3 essays a week under exam conditions? I've heard a lot of high achievers do this/or have done this throughout at least a whole year and that it's the only way to be able to write in the exam confidently under pressure (evidently).

I'm regretting that I haven't done this and I'm running out of time. I'm not very confident in my ability to finish 3-essay 3-hour exams, often I spend too much of my time thinking rather than writing. My SAC marks are OK but I'm quite nervous and stressed about the upcoming exams... as you know they are coming very soon... there aren't very many weeks left. I'm also from an under-represented school, if that piece of information helps.

Also forgive me if I post in the wrong forum/place. I checked to see if this is the right place to post this. I'm still new to posting on this forum and new to the concept of internet forums in general, haha :D I also apologise if I'm aiming too high for my own good.

I'm just a little girl stressed about her exams :/ I've seen a lot of posts with people stressing about their marks or feeling "demotivated" however I hope to receive some helpful advice by posting this. Hopefully I can learn to study/'practise' more effectively. I have written practice pieces before SACS however not as frequently as some of the stories I've heard (as I said, 3 essays a week).

Thank you for your time :)

NB: We also just finished our last SAC today on Stasiland.

Lol I definitely didn't write three a week and scored 45+. I did a lot near the exam though. Some people write tonnes, some write one or two before SACs. You've got plenty of time.
✌️just do what makes you happy ✌️
