Ehehehe, oral commentaries. I threw a fit and refused to study (it's a long story). Luckily I got a MacBeth passage and did pretty well (I think...).
Thing is, from what we were told and what we heard around the place, I don't think you're actually meant to be told what passages you might be getting. According to IBO rules. So instead of telling us, 'Study this one, it'll be one of the passages on for the oral!' it was more of a, 'This...is a very important passage *wink wink nod nod*.' But then, those teachers did have a tendency to dismiss some of the IBO rules as merely 'guidelines' (I somehow don't think they'd have looked too kindly on our history teacher entertaining us with stories of the essays from overseas she was marking).
Anyways, good luck with the rest! Especially with not falling asleep or wanting to bludgeon yourself with something when studying Death of a Salesman. Yeah, I hated that play. Lots.
