Hi there everyone! So I guess today is my first ever Tips post. I can’t exactly promise that it will be perfect, so please feel free to let me know what you’d like to see in future posts. Today we are going to be tackling the ever confusing English Essay, which hopefully may become a tad easier for some of you with this post!
I’ve basically split the whole post up into three sections: class notes, condensed revision notes and practice essay and modification.
I take my class notes on my computer, and then print them out and highlight as you can see. By taking this large volume of notes I am able to gain a deep understanding of the text.
Next, I condense all of the class notes into no more than 2 pages of handwritten notes as above. These do not need to be pretty by any means, so long as you are able to look at a glance at all the necessary information for your Essay.
Finally, I write a practice essay. I’m always surprised at how many people don’t write practice essays, mainly because they are SO SO SO helpful to be able to write a high-quality essay in a stressful exam condition. Once I’ve written my essay, I go through and make critical comments on the writing, so I am aware of what pressure points I need to focus on going into the exam.
Well, that’s about it! Please let me know any questions through my inbox, and I sincerely hope this was helpful (please reblog!) xxx
