    Who memorises essays for english?

    Enoilgam, could you please include that large post I made in that other 'memming essays' thread, as well as the post made by the other dude to which I replied "+1, +1 so much" in your OP? Thanks! (Should make stuff clearer) Also, you might want to include some arguments for not memming essays...

    Memorising essays for English

    Great - that's one person. What about the other few ten thousand students who didn't memorise? What was the median mark of that subset? The logical fallacies on this thread are hilarious.

    FOREX trading - some questions

    Was worth a try =P. Goldman recommended buying the Euro yesterday with a 1.30 target. Which means they're offloading to suckers.

    Memorising essays for English

    Re: Memorising essays Thanks for staying up late to discuss this with me. It's been enjoyable as you've raised a lot of valid points. I'm going to reluctantly concede merit in your first paragraph above - I admit that my take on the HSC has been evolved and stemmed by being mentored by...

    Memorising essays for English

    Re: Memorising essays Yeah well, they failed catastrophically with me. And basically everyone else I know. They sprout that crap every year, and it's mostly geared towards the idiots that go in and write their memmed essay word for word. you have to mould it! T

    Memorising essays for English

    Re: Memorising essays If the student who memorised and got a mediocre mark DIDN'T memorise, would they have done better? I don't think so. (Given they carried out the memorisation/moulding technique properly). You can memorise an essay written by Stephen King himself and still get owned if you...

    Memorising essays for English

    Re: Memorising essays Uhm, if it worked for me, and the majority (I avidly stand by this) of high ATAR achievers (a lot of whom weren't very good at English AT ALL to begin with), then yes. It does make it a superior method.

    Memorising essays for English

    Re: Memorising essays I never said all (I've made this clear in almost every post), I said 'most'. And by most I mean vast, vast majority. huge LOL at the few posts in this thread: "A girl (notice the singular) from a few years ago did really well and didn't memorise!" and "I know of these two...

    Memorising essays for English

    Re: Memorising essays No method is foolproof. But the memorising path is as close to it as you can get. Fair call about being 100% prepared against the possiblity of a wild curveball, but it's a factor that all to-be 99.95'ers consider and form a judgement on. The judgement we all reached...

    FOREX trading - some questions

    No - when you sign up for CFD accounts you're basically agreeing to a clause that says "all prices are completely made up by us, and we provide no guarantee whatsoever that these prices in any way resemble the prices of the 'underlying' securities". Use CFDs for hedging and the odd bet on a...

    Memorising essays for English

    Re: Memorising essays Also, I'd like to know what mark mirakon achieved with his/her approach. If they got >97, then of course I'd happily bow to their authority in the matter, but not before asserting that they are the 0.01% of students who are even capable of pulling off such a feat. I took...
