Memorising essays

[kyzoo]

Yeah memorising essays are good, or else I would have been screwed (46 in English purely from memorising essays LOL)

Lol there is no way you can memorize a language analysis.

Language analysis is pretty much memorising a bunch of phrases and techniques. I didn't understand what context was this year and I found myself writing very similar essays with identical points for all my context SACs and somehow acing them.

Are you sure?

I think I at least memorised over 100 sentences and phrases which could be used in a variety of language analysis pieces.

What do you mean by memorising? Whole essays or generic paragraphs which can be molded to address a question?

[xXNovaxX]

In addition for my SACS in Politics, I memorized by essays and scored A+'s in them

And I only memorised DOT POINTS, therefore in the SAC I would simply expand on these =D

so easy.

Whole essays, I'm dumb but good at memorising, it's the only thing I can do. I can't even modify a paragraph to make it fit a specific topic, so my only way was to memorise heaps and heaps of essays to save myself. (Been training since year 7, have memorised essays to write for every exam I had to do lolz)

Out of curiosity how many essays did you have memorised for the exam? Your memory must be godly!


I didn't really memorise essays but I kept repeating certain ideas and examples over and over again, especially in context where I essentially used the same structure and examples in every essay. By the final exam my aim was to have kept repeating these ideas so much that they became so refined and honed while not actually memorising my delivery. This gave the illusion that I was actually making this stuff up on the spot where in fact I had written pretty much the same things in almost every essay beforehand.

I memorised around 30 for Context and around 25 for King Richard III

That is absolutely insane. I'd struggle to memorise just one. Is that word for word or just the main points you bring up?

But wow, memorising  around 55 essays... I can't even begin to fathom what your memory must be like... that's more essays than I even wrote throughout the year XD

[TrueTears]

lol I started like at the start of the year though, I basically got past essays, people from my school wrote and started memorising them throughout the year. Eg, every night in bed I'd go over an essay I memorised that day and used to memorise essays while jogging etc. See I never sit down and hardcore memorise rather I do it during "spare" times, in the car each morning to school, during assemblies at school, at the dinner table, in the shower etc lolz. So yeah, I worked progressively throughout the year and it builds up quite well.

Could you write any of the 55 now?

lol man as soon as English exam is over I flushed all essays out of my brain for more Maths storage space

What about on the day of the English exam?
I agree maths is a much better use of brain room

Yeah ofcourse, on the day of the English exam all those essays were in my head, I just had to pick one for the topic available.

But yes as soon as English (and VCE) was over I chucked everything in the recycling bin (and emptied it) and now my brain only holds maths.

If you memorized essays, then how long did it take you to write them out?
