What should you check before the exam?
VCAA permits an English or bilingual printed dictionary that meets its rules. Check your copy for added markings or tabs. Confirm the venue and check the current VCE English paper instructions.
How can you approach the paper?
Distinguish the tasks before writing. In Section A, build a claim about the set text. In Section B, check how the title and stimulus relate to the writing you plan to create. In Section C, follow how the argument develops for its audience.
What should you check before you finish?
Check that each response answers its own task and appears in the right place. Read the start and finish of each piece and make sure you completed all required responses.
