WW1 - Could be anything really, but I reakon the nature of trench warfare or the treaty of Versailles
Personality - The impact the person had on their country or something to that affect (10 marker). No idea for the 15 marker its too hard to predict
Germany - I reakon something like "Evaluate the contribution which the Treaty of Versailles had on the collapse of Weimar democracy". Also, for Nazi Germany I reakon something on racial policy or social life
Conflict in Europe - D-day or maybe the russian counter-offensives, the non-aggression pact or Nuremburg. Its possible that they could go with home front or the causes of the war as well.

WW1: Turning points << Maybe tested once in the last 10 years.
National Studies (Germany): Great depression, consolidation of power << Haven't been tested on before.
Personalities (Speer): Historical context as a whole, quote as usual - maybe along the lines of trust/honour
Peace & Conflict (Conflict in Europe): German advances (Poland, Low Countries, France), League of Nations (collective security) << Haven't been tested on before.

ww1: Women or impact of battles in attempts to break stalemate.
Germany: praying for successes and failures of democracy leading to collapse. No idea really.
Personality: (Leni Riefenstahl)a) rise to prominence.. b) only Board of torture knows.
WW2: Battles questionss are usually the same, just dif battles. Evaluate the view that El Alamein was a significant turning point in the Second World War. Who knows. gl to all

CONFLICT IN INDOCHINA: they haven't asked a question under the "USA and indochina" dot point in two years. you guys reckon it'll be alright to just study that in detail?

no! don't ever just study one part. the only part you can safely get away with not studying is pol pot, asked last year and is asked once every 3 years

Do you think for Germany (section II, q b) it will be on Hitler's Totalitarianism, foreign policy, racial policy, Nazism (impacts) or propaganda?

well, it is kind of likely for them to ask a dot point from usa and indochina since they haven't asked anything from it in 2 years. focusing more so on them would be quite useful

But the point was if they didn't ask anything about that topic at all. What would you do then? And, 2 years is nothing; that's just 4 questions, or 2 pairs of related questions. The syllabus is much larger than 4 dot points.

Folks don't forget the problems and issues at the top of each syllabus page as they could ask the questions on those areas rather than on specific dot points.

Well, that's the point of the course; to answer those problems/issues. But if you know your content, answering those questions isn't the biggest of all challenges.
