VCAA Literature Study Design

The critieria above should guide you in your preparation for this task. You will be givenone double lesson in class to prepare and you will be permitted to bring in a notespage.

The notes page should then be submitted with your completed SAC.

The SAC will be sat under exam conditions in class. You will be permitted pens andpencils as well as your notes page and you are to remain silent throughout the SAC soas to allow others to complete their work uninterrupted.

If you have any questions about the procedures for the SAC please contact yourteacher.
