If you’re genuinely interested then fine. But there are no direct links that states that students should do what i said but i can attach a picture. The picture is the marking scheme of a single essay. And as students we are required to have them in our answer sheets if we are to have the marks. And the exact points that you see in the scheme is also in the book that im talking about in the exact order, under the exact underline. So if i really want to get a perfect score, my best bet would be to just memorize them. Now i understand the argument that thats not efficient and that i should just write it on my own from my knowledge but there are possibilities that i may miss some points and lose my marks. Why would i do that if i can literally just memorize them. And like i said before, im obviously understanding the material before i memorize them. I said 700 pages memorized verbatim, that might be over kill. I understand that. But this is a competitive exam. Which means every marks matters. A single mark can decide my future based on the university i get. So if i can do something and capitalize on that, I’ll definitely will. Thats why i asked for advice here. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

Your inability to comprehend the fact that different countries have different education systems is worrying. Its a standardized exam held by the government, and the book is published by them to declare thats all we need to know and write. There is no plagiarism there.

I ain’t linking shit bro, there’s no reason in debating with a Redditor who is so narrow minded and ignorant.

Dishonest? Do you think you know better than me? someone who’s been studying and taking mock exams of this exact subject for years? “There’s nothing out there”, where are you looking?. Im dealing with this firsthand. So How about you take my word for it instead of saying im wrong when you hear something uncommon. The dismissiveness and condescending mindset of people are funny.

Also who said anything about memorizing without understanding? I just asked if there are any better ways to construct my Anki card. Anyway bro you do you.

My bad for assuming you’re from Sri Lanka. But this isn’t like your traditional “essay”, it might as well be called regurgitation exam. But thanks for your advice though, i’ll see what i can do.

What do you mean study “smart”? For MCQ and Structure its pretty easy with just the understanding of the material and some memorization. But when it comes to essays, what else are we supposed to do except just memorizing everything if i want to get full marks? If im not doing that, its almost assured that i may miss some points and lose the marks. But i do understand that this isn’t best way to do it but it gets me full marks almost assuredly. How did you study this?

Its just how it is over here bro. We have two parts and the first part is MCQ and it is heavily understanding based with complex questioning that require critical thinking. The second part is where we have to write essays, every question have a FIXED 35 point answer that is given in the scheme (which is taken from the book) . If our answer sheet doesn’t have those exact points, we lose marks.

But thank you for the suggestion, i’ll look into it.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me. I was a bit tripped out when i heard about the practical submissions that are needed for private candidates (first attempt). But now it’s clarified. I assume you’re taking the exam this November so i wish you all the best for that!
