So in the actual HSC, the essay is only on your prescribed text, and that's it.

However, for people who have started Year 12 this year, your first assessment will be a comparative essay, where on top of your prescribed text, you will need to find a related text (often in a different form) to the original.

Unless you're getting confused with Module A, where you will go through 2 texts side by side (could be the same or different form)

If you're doing the HSC this year, then yes. If you're doing it next year (2022 graduation), then I'm assuming you would have already had your first official Year 12 assessment, which in that case, you would also need a related text
