Hey guys
I know this is kind of last minute, but I'm wondering if the Ext 1 exams always ask to refer to just TWO core texts? Do they ever ask for more than two? Can they ask us to refer to a specific core text?

Our class studied 'Orlando', 'The French Lieutentants Woman' and 'If on a Winters Night a Traveller', but I think after "French Lieutenants Woman" I kindof tuned out... and I've never written an essay on 'If on a Winter's Night a Traveller'...
Should I be trying to come up with some essay points on it tomorrow before the exam... or is it fine to just prepare two core texts?

Thanks and goodluck!

Well, I think in the end they can ask for just about whatever they want in the exam. But generally it is just the "TWO" prescribed texts.

I do remember one question where it said, this was for the individual and society, that if you used Browning's poems you had to include 'Porphyria's Lover' - but I'm not sure if that was actually a question from an HSC exam or not.
