Prepared essays for the eco HSC (1 Viewer)

Hi guys,
For the HSC, should we expect in the short answer or extended response section of the exam to test the research in comparison of the Australian economy to another economy that we did in the first Yr 12 topic "The Global Economy"?

Like if in my internals, I had to research about China's policies regarding economic growth and development, would I need to prepare an essay for it in the HSC?

Hi, yep they can definitely test it. I would say I have probably seen it more in short answer, but if it is in short answer it will be extended (like a 5 or 6 marker). You could try betting on not preparing an essay for it and choosing whatever else they have offered as a question but that banks on them not asking two questions that require you to compare to your country of choice.

From my calculations its about 5% of essay marks on average so not very common, and as you can see they have never asked it for both 25/26 and 27/28 pairs.
