How hard is encountering conflict

Seriously, geez. I feel like there are a billion different topics that can be asked, and each one is completely separate to the other. You pretty much have to come up with something completely new every time. Possibly the worst context to do

I've heard the opposite, that it is actually one of the easiest as there are external examples everywhere and the context as a whole is easily interpreted for weaker students. Much harder than Imaginative Landscape (hardest/"obscurist"?) or Whose Reality? from what I've been hearing.

Haha, it's actually perceived by many to be the "easiest" context and the lowest (average) scoring as well - but most people still do well in it; it's the easiest because conflict is everywhere - you encounter it in your daily life, it's always happening in the world, always on the news and most texts (even the ones that weren't meant for the conflict context) have some aspect of conflict within them.
I agree that the ideas can get complex, but be happy you're not doing something really uncommon, complex, and difficult like "the imaginative landscape" :P

Lol but that's the thing, conflict is everywhere so it is extremely hard to say something meaningful and not state the obvious. I may be wrong but the more abstract contexts actually seem easier to do well in if you're a decent student, as it's easier to be unique and show insight. Annnd my friend did imaginative landscape and got prem's award, so maybe that has something to do with it aha

Zafaraaa i would take imaginative landscape any day! Not even joking. I hate conflict. So much.

There's 5 types of Qs that can be asked with Conflict.
If you google it, there's a .doc with them, with each type of question there's a list of prompts, and a list of questions that that type of prompt require to be answered.

Try organising these prompts into groups.  You should find that the groups will overlap and that prompts might belong to more than one group
