Notes
- Students need to be familiar with the whole text.
- The prescribed issues are mandatory, the dash points are not. They are suggestions only and are included to give a sense of the scope of the prescribed issues.
- Study of the text prescribed for any Year 12 course may not begin before the completion of the Year 11 course. This exclusion applies to study in the Year 11 Chinese Continuers course and to Year 11 courses in other subjects. It also applies to the study of a prescribed text in another medium, such as the film of a novel.
- Where an extract of a film is included in the external exam, the transcription will be taken directly from the film.
