I did something really similar to what's already been said, basically dot point essay plans. I'd dot point a thesis, points, and then historical evidence for each para. I'd often use that to write an actual practice essay and hand it to my teacher to mark. Once I'd written a practice essay, I...

If the gaps between your marks are relatively small, I don't think you'd be impacted too badly. Check those hscninja websites for the number of band 6s your school gets in each subject a year, that should be an indication of how likely you are to get one at your current rank. I've also seen...

DO NOT CONTENT DUMP!! so many ppl get into the exam, freak out, see the question, and DUMP everything they know on the topic/question instead of forming an argument. Make your argument first, and then select evidence that backs this up. Consistently argue that the whole way through, always...

unimelb has this which could help https://arts.unimelb.edu.au/school-of-historical-and-philosophical-studies/discipline-areas/history/careers I do an arts degree so I'm all for doing what you're passionate about, even if the career prospects seem negative at this stage lol. I think through the...

Use the syllabus as your guide. Knowing ur syllabus is important so you know where exactly the crime question is coming from. Go through it, the dot points will be what ur paragraphs in the essay are on - select some to use (or use all of them for plans and merge some into the same paragraph - I...

omg thats so weird!! idk then 😭

for future reference

I made this around trials and finished during the HSC (I'd probably do it earlier when you're actually doing the topics in class) the essay plans had a question - or multiple - around a syllabus point, sometimes they were actual past HSC questions, or sometimes they were practice questions I...

for example, this was a doc i made to link all my conflict essay plans corresponding to the dot points - it is a lot of work, modern in general is sooo much work and requires a lot of preparation so its good to start early.

I created a plan for every syllabus dot point (or just about) if i remember correctly - i did purposely ignore a couple and hoped I wouldn't get asked (luckily i didnt). It seems overwhelming at first, but if you start writing some plans now it'll be really great preparation for trials/HSC...

when you write an essay, the point of everything is to prove your argument or thesis statement. If you're saying that a law is highly ineffective, the evidence is used to support this. before you start writing, you need to make a judgment on the question - for example, "Assess the effectiveness...

make essay plans for the syllabus dot points that are in the topic assessed practice writing an essay to a question - use what is in your essay plans to guide you, practice writing it in 40 mins. when you see the question take 5 minutes to plan your essay - come up with a thesis/argument and...

I memorised my entire modA essay and I think it's one you can easily get away with doing if they don't specify as a lot of the questions are about the new text interacting with the old text etc. I think when you write your essay you have to make it general enough that you can adapt it to more...

I did this and it worked super well, especially for retaining information. My legal teacher used to enforce this with our homework, which was always learning the next week's topic - I think there have been studies done on this method that show it's effective because in class you're solidifying...
