Write one timed 25-minute piece every two to three days. Alternate between narrative and persuasive tasks. Get feedback from a teacher or parent. Study the model responses in this course and identify at least three specific techniques to replicate. Never memorise essays – practise generating original ideas under pressure.
Read complex texts daily – literature, quality journalism, essays. After reading, practise identifying the author’s argument and technique in one sentence. This builds the critical reading speed ACER Humanities requires.
Work through non-routine problem solving questions daily. Focus on identifying what type of reasoning each question requires before attempting it. This is the meta-skill ACER tests.
