The English Literary Studies responding to texts assessment type is assessed by the school and moderated at Stage 2. Teachers select moderation samples and submit materials online.

Students produce up to five responses to their text studies; together, the responses comprise a maximum of 5000 words. One of these responses can be oral or multimodal in form, where 6 minutes is equivalent to 1000 words. There is flexibility within this study for the texts to be considered in terms of each other, leading to a single response or set of responses of up to 5000 words. 

Student work should be their own. See Supervision and verification of student work.
