Flow Chart Completion for HSC
How to fill a flow chart from a passage, with the phrasing and the length examiners expect.
A flow chart question gives you a passage and a chart with empty boxes, and asks you to fill them from the passage. It is a reading test with a writing surface: the answer is always in the text, and the work is finding it and compressing it to the few words a box will hold.
This section holds 5 pages. Each one opens with a short, direct answer, then teaches the format step by step, then gives a complete model answer you can study and adapt — not copy, since an answer lifted whole from a website is the one thing an examiner reads hundreds of times.
How to use it
- Read the answer at the top — for a format question that is often all you need.
- Work through the format before the model, so you can see why the model is laid out the way it is.
- Pair it with the grammar rules — a well-structured letter still loses marks for tenses and articles.
