Oh my goodness I know this is 5 months late, but THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THESE RESOURCES!
Just a quick question, when preparing for half-yearlies on paper 1, how would you recommend studying for it? Especially for response with unknown texts? (because I have never done it before!)
Hey hey! Welcome to the forums; glad you're finding the resources helpful! I would definitely recommend practising with other unseen texts; just choose a random image off google, and try to pick out techniques. Even analyse them a bit if you can; make up an HSC style question, and run with it! Otherwise, past HSC exams are your go-to
I would also make a list of great, easy techniques that you can use in an exam. The comprehension part of Paper 1 is really just about choosing enough techniques, and finding enough information to analyse. So, create a list with some examples, and try to memorise as many as possible.
Good luck! Let us know if we can help you out with anything else
