He was probably lucky then or else the HSC could've screwed him over coz I heard the HSC is leaning to less rote memorisation of essays and they're starting to catch out students who haven't read their texts (I think the latter would be quite hard)

Thank you guys for your help though.

You can adapt any memorised essay to any question. It's just a matter of thinking on your feet.

The essay questions that seem to get asked in year 11 are not "curveball" style, mainly because every school does different texts and AOS and there aren't many resources on the internet for preliminary texts
