Title: PAST EXAMS REPORTS ???
Post by: ANSR6 on October 18, 2018, 01:15:51 pm

Hi,

I am currently looking for essays on either 'Burial Rites' or 'I am Malala' to see how a high-scoring and medium-scoring answers are structured and what examiners look at. I looked at the past exams paper but I couldn't find anything on this novel. Do you know where am I able to find essay on these novels that examiners have checked?

Thank you :)

Best way to get the essays you're looking is from past students who had their essays marked by teachers who were examiners. VCAA unfortunately no longer posts full essays in the English examiner's report, and even when they did, they didn't for all the texts.

Hey ANSR6,

The VCAA website doesn't put full essays on their websites anymore but you could try checking the examiners report for the past years, in which you could have some luck finding essays on your novels.

Hope that helps and good luck finding essays  :)
