I actually do have a question, what type of paper is used in the exam and is it hard to write in the booklet?

It'll be similar to your Studio exam - just regular printer paper with lines through it... not difficult to write in at all :)
✌️just do what makes you happy ✌️

my English teacher (who's also a vcaa assessor) said that you need to have a conclusion in your language analysis but it doesn't get marked.
That's just what she said.

The prompts for my books were pretty fair, just disappointed because I wanted something else.

 Personally found the language analysis tough :( But on the plus side, it was pretty short!! Knew it was going to be comparative.

Don't stress at all, you don't need a conclusion for language analysis. I know people who got a perfect 50 and high 40's without one. It's simply not marked.

((realised i quoted the wrong comment but you get the point aha)

Hey guys,
You know how you have to shade the boxes of your topic, what happens if you tick them(just what I did).
