Hey Leonard! Will answer in the qna - but briefly, with vocab try and employ a couple new words each essay (either from your teacher or other sources). More essay topics overlap so you will be able to use those words a fair bit. Syntax is a little harder - it starts with identifying what actually is wrong with your sentences and checking every sentence in your essay for that mistake (e.g. having run-on sentences)
During the 15 to 10 minutes reading time of an English exam, should I read through the Argument Analysis Article and do that essay first or should I try to plan out the other two essays instead.
Thank you for sharing, these videos have been so helpful during my y12 studies this year
No worries! Glad you made the switch to VCE from IB

Appreciate the support Socrates! Always a joy to see you here and there in the comments
Watching this 2 days before my exam 😂😅
You’ve got this!
How would you go about improving the syntax + vocabulary of your essays?

@@DarrenTan21 Thanks Darren!
must you be 1st ranked in your school SACs to score a 50 in English?
If your school is really small and rarely has 50 scorers then yes, if your school regularly has a couple 50 scorers then you have a bit more leeway
have you read the Sophocles Oedipus Rex play?
Hey User, no I have not - is that a new text?
@@DarrenTan21 yh it is the new text by Sophocles for the new study design and the SAC is TODAY
If you do poorly on one of your English sacs in relation to the rest of the cohort, can you still get above a 40 if you do well on your exam?
Will touch on this in the qna, but short answer is YES
Did you have a part time job while doing VCE? Would you advise us to quit?
Thank you for the question! (Short answer is if you feel it’s affecting your studies and tiring you out, then quit)
Do you draft work? :)
Hey CC! Do you mean like my essays? Or like all kinds of homework
