Wow well done though, did you memorise your quotes? Because i have to and we're not allowed the text books , how did you memorise the quotes and thanks for the help :smile:

Yes I memorised some quotes but you should already know key quotes! Memorising just involves writing it again on flashcards then on the other side the answer. Make it interactive!
