The amount of secrecy and potentially punitive consequences surrounding the release of information regarding the exams would suggest that BOS shouldn't, and couldn't (?), release anything in an article that only a certain percentage of the candidature would be privy to?
Fuck I hope we don't have to adapt As You Like It. It would be a disservice to Shakespeare and wreck my hopes of a good mark haha.

it says "studied text" not "prescribed text"...

And that could be one of the only reasons as to why English Standard is better than English Advanced :p

Also, teachers who have taught the respective set texts mark the respective essay responses. This isn't the case with creative. Meaning you're adapting a text that a teacher may have little idea about.

I don't think this is likely to happen.

Teachers should have a good understanding of all the texts, especially if they're marking the HSC. the only reason they wouldn't, is if they were young and/or inexperienced, but they wouldn't have noobs marking the HSC would they? i have faith in the board of studies.

"a composition on a studied text".

basically means a creation of your own, in relation to belonging... ...stress less homies.
