so do they give us a copy of the stimulus booklet in the exam? or are we meant to study it like the prescribed text and take our knowledge on it in with us? i.e. if i were planning to do the robert frost poem should i be memorising some quotes??

I was mislead by my fatass teacher and realised before the trials that you can't use the stimulus booklet.
I did everything i can to get new texts and ended up acing the trails with 82%

fuck you fatcunt

what happens if you use something that was in the stimulus booklet as a related text this year?

I'm not sure of it's not allowed, but my teacher said that it'd be the worst thing you can do for yourself. You'll pretty much be fucking yourself in the ass. :D

The stimulus booklet texts are not down as prescribed texts thus are ok to be used as related.

I just rang up the advice line to clarify this, and the lady said that you can still use texts in the stimulus booklet as related texts... but it's wise to use your own to show that you have analysed/studied two of your OWN texts. She also said that you're allowed to use a text from Section I of Paper I, if it suits the question really well, as a related text.
