The idea
Hamlet is a play most candidates know something about, and that knowledge tempts answers the printed scene does not support. The board says the exam requires no familiarity with specific works, which means the extract must be sufficient, and outside knowledge is not evidence.
In practice
Familiarity is a temptation, not evidence.
Where people slip
The extract must be sufficient.
