Don’t Memorise Essays

The best tip I can give you is, don’t go down the road of so many others and memorise whole essays. Over the two exams you’ll have four essays and one short story to write, and it’s just too much to try and remember. For those with a fantastic ability to memorise, maybe that’s a good plan, but the majority of us can’t retain that much information word-for-word.

Do Memorise Quotes

What you can try and learn is everything you’ll need for your essays. You need to have a library of handy quotes on hand, preferably things that will work with any question they can throw at you. The best thing to do is to learn these, and any other information you might need.

Make a Plan

When you get into the exams, the first thing you should do is write down all of your quotes. Then you can look at the question, and start to plan out how you will structure your essay. Remember, a detailed plan is important – don’t just launch straight in. You need to structure your argument and know what you’re going to say. And if worst comes to worst, if you run out of time, submitting the dot points of your plan will score you more marks than submitting nothing at all.

Pick Texts you Like

Paper 1 should be all of the texts you’re most familiar with – the ones you started earliest, and your related texts. Pick texts that you can discuss in detail and are really familiar with – it often helps if you really like them as well. Don’t worry that you’ll start to dislike them if you have to write too much about them. If you like them enough, it shouldn’t matter!

Creative Writing – Embrace the Freedom!

A lot of my friends stressed out about the short story in Paper 1. The problem with writing a story and memorising it is that sometimes, the stimulus they give you for creative writing just will not fit with the story you’d already written. My best advice for this is to write quite an open-ended story, with room for movement in the plot. The stimulus is always something different, so leave room for objects, images, and ideas. And stay away from cliches!

Keep Track of Time

Paper 2 is just about managing your time. Make sure you divide it equally and don’t go over time. If you can’t finish something, come back to it later. If you get stuck, start on the next essay. Paper 2 is where you really need to spend a few minutes at the start of the exam preparing all of your essays, and writing your quotes down before you forget them, as well as your main points.

Stay Cool

Hopefully this has been at least a little helpful! Remember, the best way to deal with the HSC is just to not freak out. If you get a question you weren’t expecting or if your short story just wont fit, don’t stress. Stay calm. You can find a way to make it work. Be positive. Some day this will all just be a distant memory. To be honest, I cant even remember what I wrote for my creative piece. Not a clue. Ah, forgetting the details. You have that to look forward to!

"We know that every child is different and performs differently at home and in schools. The children differ in their behaviour, learning and grasping power. The performance of every child is different and it cannot be compared with one another. Some students are very brilliant and some need extra attention and care so that they are able to show their performances. Private Home tuition has become necessary for every student; as a brilliant student has to compete with other students and keep the pace of getting good scores while weak students have to struggle for getting good marks. There are various benefits of home tuition for both students and parents. Some of them are listed below: Extra attention: The students are able to get care and attention from their teacher which may be the lacking point in their traditional class rooms. Private tuition is helpful in imparting the knowledge and interest in the student and they are able to get maximum benefits from home tuition. Improve learning styles: The students are able to explore new learning style and they are able to change the way they study in the classroom. Home tuition will help them build confidence and hence speed up their learning process. This is very important for student to discover the most effective way for learning so that they are able to excel in their studies and career in life. Improved Performance: Sometimes the student is afraid of one subject or maybe even more. With the help of home tuition, he is able to concentrate more on that subject. Private tuition will give the students opportunity to practice more and more. It is advised that the student must take full advantage of home tuition and try various exercises so that he is able to improve upon his weakest areas."
