Ok I have studied 3 texts this year, but have done some practise essays and it takes me 45 mins to write on 2 with an intro and conclusion. Will they always ask to only write on 2? Every past paper I have seen only mentions that you need to write on 2 of the texts. Is this the generall trend for the exams?

do you mean three texts in the same area, as in three texts for Australian drama?

I mean, I have studies 3 texts on australian drama, 3 texts on american drama. I was asking if they only make you refer to 2 in each essay, because thats what they have done in the past papers/

well probably two because our class did two texts on American drama and two texts in Australian contemporary drama. Unless we forgot to learn two other texts? :S

If that's the trend I would assume it would stay that way, I have studied 2 texts, The Summer of the Seventeenth Doll and The touch of silk, I have an assement due on Monday and I'm stuck!

hey all... the voice of reason has arrived....
to tell how many texts you need to know, READ THE DRAMA STAGE 6 SYLLABUS DOCUMENT. The syllabus is your key to succcess - so use it!
to answer the questions: if you study 3 texts, learn all 3... If you study 2, learn 2!

Schools are told you only need to study two, yet some schools choose to give you some variety and a choice in which ones your writing about. Were doing all four. Which texts are you studying??
