    How would you go about improving the syntax + vocabulary of your essays?

    • @DarrenTan21
      @DarrenTan21  2 роки тому +1

      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)

    must you be 1st ranked in your school SACs to score a 50 in English?

    • @DarrenTan21
      @DarrenTan21  2 роки тому +2

      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

    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?

    Did you have a part time job while doing VCE? Would you advise us to quit?

      @DarrenTan21  2 роки тому +1

      Thank you for the question! (Short answer is if you feel it’s affecting your studies and tiring you out, then quit)

    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.
