    Now seeing as we are all cramming like absolute mad men, what method do you find makes the information stick the best?
    Do you write out the material several times, read it aloud, or just read over it?

    Or how do you plan to cram?
    Just learn quotes? Sample answers?

    I've skimmed over all my possible points for poets (consonance! :D) and made sure I know the quotes for each one. My reasoning is, that if I know enough quotes. I can mold them to any answer. As long as I make it seem seamless.

    Same with Hamlet. I've learned the order of soliloquies, and just quotes, quotes, quotes.
    A basic knowledge of each character helps too :p

    Also, for Comparative, I plan to just learn off my points and the order.
    Like, 1 Power Figures
    2 Restriction
    3 Parental Influence
    Etc. And hope that my knowledge of the texts will fit the pieces together. I've done about 5 Theme and Issue and 5 CC essays since the start of the year, so I know the texts well anyway!
