Okay, I'm doing Standard English, and I'm wondering if they can ask you to write about MORE than 1 related material...
Usually, they say "At least ONE related text of your own choosing." Can they ask for 2? Please help, because I'm freaking out about having to rewrite all my essays :(

They can ask for as many as they want. They will probably only ask for one, but you never know.

They can ask you for more than one. Yes. Definitely.
So then, what is the probability of them asking for more than one? And, how many related texts for each essay should I prepare, just to be safe?

If you prepare three related texts, I'm sure you will be 100% fine for the essay. There's no saying whether they will or not... But usually they won't.

No worries, I asked the exact same question to my English head teacher and that's what she told me.

Typically when they ask for more than one they say "and texts of your own choosing." Sucks if you miss the plural.
