Why is everyone so afraid for eext 1 i feel like its a very straightforward exam. the first section is the only really scary part because we could get a:

1. discursive, and depending on the question, we will use our literary theorists in the analysis, or not. most of the time that hinges on whether its a more theory-based stimulus or a fiction stimulus. regardless all you need to study for this part is 3 or so literary theorists, and some good quotes from each of them. my class does shady cosgrove, terry eagleton, and langston hughes. If we don't get literary theorist-based questions, then there's nothing we can do to study, but studying your theorists will still aid in your writing.

2. imaginative, and if you have a versatile imaginative based on your assessment task you'll be fine. most of the time the actual stimuli is very broad, usually descriptive, so just do a lot of worldbuilding (but not too much) in this part.

3. reflection, but we will only get one if we get a creative and there's virtually nothing we can do to prepare for this part. we have to write the reflection based on how the stimulus affected our writing or whatever. so there's nothing to do.

for the section 2 essay there isn't much to prepare for besides having a pretty versatile concept. my school does Worlds of Upheaval, and i specifically chose gendered upheaval because i don't think a lot of people do it, and then i did Frankenstein, Metropolis, and the original blade runner. you just need to know the contexts of your texts intimately and weave the contexts throughout. know your evidence and connect to form very explicitly in each paragraph... eg. science fiction novel, draw on science fiction themes... supremacy over nature... biblical allusion/subversion in the form of the monster and his bride. blah blah blah. im predicting/praying for an imaginative with maybe a reflection (but its a bit nerve wracking because there's no way to prepare) and an essay question about context

its just cause i haven't started studying yet lmao cause i still have 2 exams in between

Ummmm...now you've got me a bit panicked. Since when are we supposed to study literary theorists for section 1?? Why has my extension teacher never once mentioned that? We've done prescribed texts (the scarlet letter and john Donne's poetry) but I don't even know if they're part of the syllabus cause I can't find them on the prescribed text list. Did everybody else also do prescribed texts for section 1?

i didnt do prescribed texts for section 1, and yes, if its a discursive they will want you to have at least 1 literary theorist. I only used 1 and got a 24 for that section so u dont need many dw

they should only back up your writing so if you find yourself replacing your evidence with their quotes thats where you'll start to lose instead of gain marks. bcs they want to see how you interpret the text (possibly influenced by that theorist), not just what that theorist thinks. So id say use them sparingly

Ahh thank you! So it's not really study them but like quotes and ideas similar to what we use to support our electives essay analysis? And we only use them in a critical or reflective response right?

yep! ive never seen someone use it in a creative (idk how u would if it wasnt just in the reflection). we didnt rlly like "study them" its just kinda knowing what they r vaguely talking abt and 1/2 quotes from each source you think would fit into the parts of the syllabus
