Exam Answer Book Now Available

This year's exam uses only one script book, which is now available from the VCAA website.
http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Documents/exams/english/Englishanswerbook-samp.pdf

It's a good idea to familiarise yourself with it so you can hop right into writing on exam day.

While you're on the VCAA website, it would probably be wise to check out the exam specs and assessment criteria too. :)

Highly recommend following Lexitu's advice.

Last year for my Literature exam, I hadn't practised with a script booklet and it made everything so bloody complicated when it came to filling out what texts I'd written on.

Even though it seems really trivial, it's really very worthwhile practising with this. Print it out and at least do one exam with it, getting your prompts from elsewhere of course.

I'm not liking the whole 'border' idea. I know that they have to scan them but I tend to use the side of the page to add in things. I practised in the booklet the other day and it wasn't too bad, thankfully.  :)

I looked, but I'm not sure! Maybe it's just not up yet, usually subjects are gradually released.

I think it would be A3 saddle stitch :)

Transcribing this into a new sticky until the exam because people should see the assessment criteria.

Quoting and linking to this thread.
