Hey kids, just wondering something regarding practising/studying for the Literature exam:
My texts are Hedda Gabler (play), A Passage To India (novel), Bypass (other lit) and Philip Larkin poetry.
Theres no way im doing poetry at allll, i did badly in the sac.

My problem is that Hedda Gabler has only been on the study design for 2 past years, and Passage for only one. So I can do 2 actual past exams to practice for Hedda Gabler but only one for A Passage To India. I wanna do more than that otherwise I dont feel I would have practised enough.
Our teacher said just pick your own passages which makes sense and I'd do that but....if i was to photocopy passages from my copy of the text there are annotations and highlighting ALL OVER THEM! So that wouldnt really be practising very well would it?
What should I do?
Please reply. Any advice will do!  :o

It would be handy if you're able to scan, crop and edit. Otherwise, try borrowing a copy from the library or your teacher.  :)

The scanning thing would be inefficient though.

Perhaps you could look on the internet and try and find a free e-version of the books. Then you could simply copy and paste. I did Lit last year and initially thought there is no way i'm doing poetry, however there were only 12 poems set by vcaa and since 3 are on the exam (comapred to 3 extracts form a novel with 400+ pages) i liked those numbers and decided to do poetry. I suggest you write as much as possible because trust me, you get better with the more you write. Really try and think deeply about the text and come up with ideas that other people might not come up with. I also suggest you hand in your essays to your teacher for feedback, and continually try to improve. Good luck!

yeah fair point. well we've done 10 poems from philip larkin so when you think about it yeah, theres a fair good chance at least 1 of the 3 we did for our sac will be one of the 3 on the exam. ill see what i can find otherwise :) thanks guys!
