Title: Exam '09
Post by: xXNovaxX on August 13, 2009, 10:41:15 pm: Yes, a bit early :idiot2:

But just wondering, is it safe to assume that in this years exam for the extended response, its going to be about you choosing ANY policy and writing about it? I've looked at a few exams from previous years, and it tends to be the same, just worded slightly different.

Because, if not, how can one be expected to KNOW the 100's of policies out ether should they require you to write a specific one, e.g. there's climate change, refugees, immigration, war, climate change, health, education etc etc. Would it be useful to just focus on a policy I did in my SACs already?
Thanks:)

Yes, the questions are generic - you are not required to know a mandated topic, simply the one you have researched or spent time on in class.

the only practice exams that i am aware of that are published are the SEV ones but i dont have any. If you have 'the indigo handbook for national politics' by rod wise you will find there is a practice exam at the end of the book.

Good luck and if you need any assistance feel free to ask :)
