Sorry if this has been asked a million times but

My memorised essay has 3 related texts....A lot of practise belonging papers I have seen have asked for AT LEAST two related texts but some have said just two...
I am pretty worried, should I be prepared for an essay that might ask specifically for two related texts instead of 3?

Thanks

Most people only have 2. So stick with two. I dont think they'll ask three. It's the first year.

I don't really care if they ask for two but I'm worried if they would ask for JUST two.. I have memorised an essay for 3 texts and I would pretty much have to re-write it to reach the word count for an essay with just 2 :(

I want a question that would say
"AT LEAST two texts of your own choosing"
not
"Refer to TWO TEXTS" (only) :/

What you want and what you'll get are probably going to be 2 different things :p

"AT LEAST two texts of your own choosing" or "Refer to TWO TEXTS" is fine by me because i'm doing two :D

I'm fairly sure the Board of Studies has never asked for just two texts (well, just by looking at the past 5 years worth of questions). They always go: 'at least [insert number]'.

To be honest, if they ask for two texts, that's because they're expecting a deeper level of detail and by discussing 3 texts, most likely you'll lack depth.

Either that or write really big with heaps of spacing and you'll reach the 6+ pages you should be aiming for.

:/ Actually no lol

2008:
Is this your view?
Write a persuasive response referring to representations of inner journeys in your texts.
In your response, refer to your prescribed text and TWO other related texts of your own choosing

2007

Texts may show us that the world of physical journeys involves unexpected detours.
To what extent do the texts you have studied support this idea?
In your response, refer to your prescribed text, ONE text from the stimulus booklet, Journeys, and at least ONE other related text of your own choosing.




LOL 2007 asks for one!!!

I really hope they ask for at least 2...My teacher put me through the effort of getting three and I'm using 3 no matter what. :p

yeah but look it uses one text from the stimulus booklet and on top of that it says at least one other related text... which means you could still use up to 3. so i guess 2008 would be the only anomaly

oh, sorry i didnt notice you were a female too

its ok for people like me and you and the rest of our gender to memorise essays

because we lack the intelligence to respond to a question without a pre-made answer

to be honest, i dont even know why we bother working so hard for 99+ atar's when we are just going to become housewives and servants to a good husband, the way it should be
so besides feminism, what other hobbies do u have
