For english advanced, are we required to write about the prescribed text and 2 related in the actually trial exam?
Im a bit lost and stressing over time. :evilfire: I have 87% for it but want to move it up to 90+%
For AOS - Im doing Peter Skrzynecki, and for the essay do we talk about one poem or two? And how many related for it?
MOD A - Im doing texts in time: Frankenstein and Bladerunner
MOD B - Speeches
MOD C - Julius Caesar, do we write about two related again?

Also how do you study for the exam? Because we dont know what is going to be asked, do you just memorise your techniques, quotes and the meaning of them and then in the exam you link it to the question?

Thanks guys and Good Luck :p

Yeah pretty much 'memorise' your shit then mould/adapt it to the question. Answering the question will allow you to access the higher bands.

For Belonging + Mod C, they can ask for either ONE related or TWO related. I suggest you prepare essays/analysis for the case of one related text AND the case of two related texts. In recent times, 1 related is appearing more often but always prepare for the worst.

For Skrzynecki, you need to do 2 poems.

STRUCTURE for Skrz would be:
Poem 1
Related 1
Poem 2
Related 2 (Related 1 if it's a 1 related essay)

Module A: Frankenstein/Blade Runner
Module B: Gwen Harwood Poetry
Module C: Julius Caesar

Preparing Essays

OR

Detailed Analysis/Textual Evidence - Quotes + Techniques + Effect and so on.

Depends on how you learn and what works best for you.
