Section outline

  • Below are some resources meant to help you prepare to your Diploma exams.

    For the practice part A, you will be asked to respond to a writing prompt by providing text(s) to support for you ideas about the topic that is provided to you. There are more than 20 different topics (taken from past exams); you can respond to as many as you wish. The idea is for you to give the planning page (the title of the work, the author and the basic outline of your response), but can write the entire response if you so wish.

    There is also a book that provides various tips to you as you prepare to write the exam. There are even some examples of texts that have been used on past exams by students just like yourself!

    If you wish, you can look through some of the exemplars to see how students responded to the topic that was given last June. There are examples for the Personal Response as well as the Analytical/Critical Response that scored everything from Satisfactory to Excellence!
