VCE English students were delighted to find their practise paid off with a question on the final exam nearly identical to one on practice tests provided by a popular tuition company. The boon for some of those who studied Billy Wilder’s classic film Sunset Boulevard capped off a dramatic start to the exam period for other students who had to battle a train line suspension. English is a mandatory subject for all those completing an ATAR, with more than 47,000 students sitting the three-hour written exam on Tuesday. The first section of the English exam involves writing an analytical response to one of two questions about a text, film or play students have studied. In the second section, students had to write a creative text based on a prompt. The last section asked students to analyse an argument.
