for questions about the "value" of a source do you write about the limitations or do you just glaze it? i usually try to point out flaws in the source but idk it's worth my time for a lower mark question

how do y'all mark the short ans questions if u cant reach ur teacher and chat is too biased?
tbh the quickest is just to give chat the marking criteria tell it to harshly mark and give feedback without giving you a mark and it does an alright job. just tell it to only give where you can improve, what else you could add etc

I’m so cooked for pacific and USA. Any help on how to uncook myself? For trials I got a decent mark, yet that was only because I predicted half the questions from asking my teacher and looking at his facial expressions… I’m predicting opposition or consolidation for Power, conflict in the pacific might be civilians, turning points or hopefully allied occupation and USA great depression or an industrialisation, something in US society i reckon.

I just wanted to ask, how is everyone preparing for the exam? I was memorising essay plans based on my predictions but I’m scared that whatever I memorise won’t show up on the exam :evilfire: + the breadth of the content in modern is insane and i have both ancient and history ext this week as well, help!

i think if you can read the syllabuses and know general content for each point you'll be okay

I'm manifesting for GD and society options which I reckon is accurate, foreign policy has been tested for two years in a row and war mobilization industrialization urbanization havent been directly tested ig. Conflict is just prayers, my teacher literally showed us the midway movie and never covered the course of the war so i'm genuinely fried trying to memorise two essays based on that syllabus area and i hate military history, i genuinely enjoyed some elements of apartheid and end of war stuff but the content on the course of the war is so dry.

`````
are there parts of the syllabus for the essays that you guys aren't going to cover because it most likely wont come up in the exam
Foreign policy, social tensions, international responses to apartheid for my option topics- for nazi’s youth and women have popped up twice so its highly unlikely
