exactly, its possible, but highly unlikely. never been done before, i wouldn't worry about it. its unfair to ask about a specific text, then that would mean you'd have to know every text in the stimulus booklet, that's just plain crazy.

Or they could give you the given text in the exam.

It does say something along the lines of "students are required to write about texts of their own choosing" in the stimulus booklet itself...point is, if they specify a text, I'm gonna be mighty pissed off.

They specified a stimulus book text as a text in my trial exam.....

They didnt actually put the text in the exam, it just said "Text 2 of the BOS stim book"

the advice is line is more than realy good, its the best!...

i called for english module C (powerplay)... in that 15 minutes i learnt more than i did over the whole course in school...lol

by the way... notice at the beginning before ur transefered to the operator.. the guy says something along the line of....

"we do not hold responsibility for any misleading or negligent answers"...

I still don't think they can specify for journeys.... meh! even if they do... make something up on the spot and learn one quote from each stimulus text..

anywas.. the person i called was very helpful and understanding I just hope all the other teachers there are the same!

the physics bloke fobbed me off "there are other people waiting" lol. I was only talking for 20 mins, damnit I paid my 25c!!

But the english and physics people, knew their stuff! the english dude (i think his name was greg) even specified another poem I could use for related material. the physics guy was actually the writer of the 2005 independent paper and he knew his projectile motion. i learned more in the 20 mins about projectile than i did all year lol

The English teacher who helped me was so nice. I'd expected them to be grumpy and yawning all the time, considering I called at 9:45. I asked one questions and she fully gave me a rundown of the whole module. At 10:03 she actually asked me if I had any more questions. I'm so going to ring up again tomorrow.

I just asked her what texual integrity really means, and she starting going on and on and on and on and then onto motivations of producers, context, interpretations, blah blah blah. I also asked how to go about discussing context in King Lear essays.
