Does anybody have any practice Literature exams (non VCAA) that do not date back past 2011.
Unfortunately with my exam texts (The Tempest and Blake's Poetry) I am struggling to find any material.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

It might be valuable to select and write on your own passages.
For the reason that it's so easy to make your own (and our small cohort size), lit practice exams tend to be somewhat scant, especially freely available ones.
-
Maybe engage education?

Yeah I rarely used prac exams. Grab digital copies of your texts ( a lot are on the public domain) and print out sections you want to practice. Easy.
-
Yep, as has been said above, just choose your own passages. Pick ones you think are complexing or most exemplary of key ideas. Or perhaps ones that discuss obscure and difficult ideas within the text. Alternatively, get your teachers/classmates to pick passages for you.

Thanks for the help all!
Reassuring to know that it's normal for me to be just picking random passages out of the text!
-
Post the passages you do choose here: Passages for close analysis.

Knowing VCAA, it's probably what they do too.

Yeah, sometimes with the randomly selected passages I just find that the connections are quite small and so minor, that it is impossible to write a sustained piece on them and actually show some complexity.

So make sure you pick ones which are connected!
