SACE English Literary Studies exam-day checklist
Check your school’s e-exam setup and practise planning and typing a focused critical reading response.
By ATARMAxxing · Updated
What should you check before the exam?
Critical Reading is an e-exam. Confirm the device arrangements with your school and test the equipment through the school’s practice process. SACE lists English Literary Studies among subjects requiring headphones for the 2026 electronic examination.
How can you approach the paper?
Use a past or sample e-exam to practise reading the stimulus, locating the response field and composing on screen. Identify the relationship the question asks you to analyse, then choose details that let you explain that relationship.
What should you check before you finish?
Check that all responses are in the correct fields and that any final edit reads as intended. Follow the supervisor’s instructions for ending the session. Raise any technical problem with the supervisor when it occurs.
