Area of Study and related material – Q & A

Q: I have a quick question, I have only one additional text which I have prepared for the Area of Study critical response. Will this limit my ability to reach higher order marks? Last year’s exam only requested one related text of own choosing.

A: I think it’s a good idea to have a text up your sleeve because there is the chance the one text you prepared won’t suit the question. I’ve worked with my students on the last 6 years HSC questions and there has been for most of them that one question where something else would be better.
I’ve always recommended two to my students.
