2. A series of questions which will test their knowledge of the Rubric and the Common Module supported by answers
3. A table which breaks down the rubric and explains in graphic detail what the heck you’re supposed to be considering
4. It lists AND explains the VERBS that you will find in most of the HSC questions and explains what your response should include to address these verbs. These verbs you will notice have a direct correlation with the marking criteria so get to know them.

6. A practice short answer question where you can use the Verb Ladder complemented by a suggested answer
