HSC predictions (1 Viewer)

[cheeseburger100]

Hey everyone! Did anyone predict what’s gonna be in the HSC this year for power and authority, USA, conflict in the pacific and civil rights (USA)?

 

[downonthewestcoast24]

i wanna know about russia lowkey

 

[skybuddy]

I'd say it's not as beneficial to try and predict the short answer questions, it's better to just revise for them because it's such a broad area that could be assessed through so many questions.

For Russia, my current predictions are Bolshevik consolidation, Stalin as totalitarian, or Political Transformation.

For conflict in the pacific, I reckon it will either be Japanese Advance or Occupied Territories.

js outta curiousity why those dotpoints, ik political transformation and consolidation havent been assessed since 2020 so fair enough but totalitarianism was basically asked kinda recently in 2022

I predict they would like test-takers to spell prediction correct

 

[thegoat2024]

Nah fr tho,
Russia: Emergence of Stalin, Political transformation, totalitarianism or bolshevik consolidation in that order of likelihood
If anyone does Indo, I'd say its probably impact on civilians, strats + tacts or developments N+S

yeah i agree with indo since they haven't assessed those dopoints, I'm gonna take a guess that'd it be impact on civilians in Vietnam specifically as they've alr asked ab impact for cambodia and laos i think ??

what makes you say emergence of stalin for russia as your top pick?

In terms of Indo, honestly i think they will assess it as a whole - and just say 'Indochina', they like that, despite it being asked in 2019, its time for a rerun of cambo + laos IMO and HSC knows it.

For Russia being emergence, well it hasn't been asked since 2019, whereas every other dot point has either already been asked or asked 2 or more times. Additionally, I think if they do it like that, it gives them room to have the other option as quite different (presumably Political transformation) and they like trying to assess 2 different dotpoints, whereas, whilst still possible, doing BCOM + Emergence would be conflicting of what they usually do in that regard

 

[earlgreyteawithmilkfoam]

yeah that's fair enough, i can see them asking Indochina as a whole asw.

good point for russia, what were your trial essay qs if you don't mind revealing ?

 

[thegoat2024]

Our trial Qs were Russia: Stalinism as totalitarianism and emergence and our indo was a quote on strats & tacts and then denoting its significance to com vic and impact on civilians in indochina

You reckon there would be a power struggle essay for Russia?

 

[earlgreyteawithmilkfoam]

You reckon there would be a power struggle essay for Russia?

yeah there very well could be, I've heard some people are predicting this as well (esp as it hasn't been asked since 2020 IIRC)
edit: it was asked in 2021 but again still has been a while.

 

[earlgreyteawithmilkfoam]

Hey everyone! Did anyone predict what’s gonna be in the HSC this year for power and authority, USA, conflict in the pacific and civil rights (USA)?

in terms of civil rights, I'm predicting they'll ask about MLK somewhere in there and perhaps March on Washington/Freedom rides as they haven't asked about those two events yet

 

[thegoat2024]

Yep for civil im thinking the same. Opposition too.

in terms of civil rights, I'm predicting they'll ask about MLK somewhere in there and perhaps March on Washington/Freedom rides as they haven't asked about those two events yet

 

[Aussiecrawl]

Has there been a CRM beyond the US question as of recent?

 

[earlgreyteawithmilkfoam]

Has there been a CRM beyond the US question as of recent?

last it was asked was 2021, so there is potential for it to be asked this yr asw tbh anything prior to 2022 which has alr been asked has a decentish chance of popping up again id say. if you want i have a doc for when diff syllabus dotpoints have been asked/havent for power and authority, Russia, Indochina and civil rights

 

[thegoat2024]

i feel like they could pull a fast one and have it as the 4-5 marker and just be "Outline ONE instance of the CRM going beyond the US" or smth like that yk

From my POV the 2022 question didn't hone directly in on totali and was quite broad, so it could be assessed again. Especially since its such a big point of the syllabus. And with the Political transformation and bolsh consolidation, they were either quite broad or specific, so i think a potential question for political transformation would again be quite broad instead of focusing in on Terror.
