My last exam tomorow, then PJ tour and bring on 4 months of absoloute nothing :D So i feel totally like cba.

Got to write 2 essays, 1 on each book we have studied. Thing is i could answer the question but we need to remember sooo many quotes to get a decent mark :(

With theories and stuff there are at least numerous ways to put it but for quotes gotta get everything spot on :P

any tips!?!!

    get a tattoo.





    Seriously though, don't try to force it. If you're talking A-level here, you really don't need that many quotes in closed book exams, whatever your teachers have told you. I think I learned one for my paper on Look Back In Anger by John Osborne and got an A. So long as you can analyse what you DO remember in enough detail, it'll be fine :) Quality is way more important than quantity.

    What subject is it btw?
    "I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

    just keep saying it to yourself, out loud. over and over again. How long are the quotes? maybe an acronym would help. I was the master of short term memorization in college. Didn't retain much, but when test time arrived, I knew what to regurgitate. I even had one professor who let everyone in the class retake one test a semester, after she had returned them. I bombed on one test, so I memorized the answers. 50 questions, and I memorized A-B-A-B-D-C-A-...........

    read it, write it, say it, repeat... always worked pretty well for me.
