Tips on how to smash EngLang from now?

[koreaboo99]

Hey guys,

I'm a Year 12 doing EngLang this year and i'm loving it!

Would you have any overall tips on how to get a 48+ raw for EngLang? Having done a self-evaluation I feel like my problem isn't knowing/learning/understanding the content itself, but rather, applying that content into different questions (we just had a short answer question SAC and....yeah, it just went..like y'know, it went SO well -_-). I'd greatly appreciate any guides on how to approach the different sections of the exam.

Thank you ^__^

P.S: yeah the short answer SAC part was sarcasm in case you didn't realise.

How many practice exams  does you school have? I want to start them but don't have any -.-

I guess build your examples for your essays. Know how to discuss them.

The most obvious answer is practise (I bought, used and asked for practise papers). I did a few practise essays over the year and slowly got better at them. I also had a glossary on Excel and a quote bank which was very helpful come exam time. The thing is also to build an example bank with recent linguistic examples.

Note: I didn't get a 48+, but I still improved over the year, so, in terms of personal goals, it was still an achievement.

Where did you buy prac papers?

Where did you buy prac papers?

Only ever bought one... from a TSSM stall at a careers expo I attended in my Year 12 year. There are several companies that sell practise papers: TSSM, Boo Book Education (company with Kate Burridge textbook) and I think Insight are the three main ones I can recall off the top of my head. Most I did were actually hybrid exams I formed from the sections not copyrighted by VCAA or the ones I got from my teacher (I can't remember which paper it was).
