    Highly dependant on options, if you did germany this year I'm feeling 85 odd

    General Thoughts: Modern History

    Hahaha now the bizarro world where 68 in modern was a 90 would certainly be a world I'd like to live in.

    General Thoughts: Modern History

    Germany questions were really top quality - very well written. I did Nazis solving Weimar problems one which I thought was particularly nice. Personality required a little bit more abstract thinking for Speer than I would think it would for someone like Mandela (who actually faced real life...

    2015 indochina predictions

    That certainly sounds like an option, nature and role of communism is the other key theme that hasn't been asked in a while bar attempts at peace making. Incidentally, why the hell is attempts at peace making a key theme? There's no syllabus dot points on it. I did go through and make some...

    A collection of HSC Advice: What *not* to do

    Speaking as someone with quite a number of rank 1s, you'd have to be a fool not to help out your cohort after trials. Partly just for the glory of the school, but also because if you're helping out the people below you and one of them guns externals, you get their external mark internally. So...

    How badly can 1/10 units affect your overall ATAR?

    92% band 5s or 6s last year - I think OP can rest easy.

    How badly can 1/10 units affect your overall ATAR?

    I think OP goes shore, not pymble, which is why I'm mirin that english so much. Incidentally, will there be any big state ranks from shore this year?

    How badly can 1/10 units affect your overall ATAR?

    fuark, mirin that english so hard. Not knowing the quality of this year's cohort, I'd still have to say that one unit of maths won't count - the only one it could potentially replace for 2 units to count is history extension depending on this year's results. It'll definitely have a negative...

    2015 indochina predictions

    Cambodia was explicitly asked in 2013 and implicitly asked in 2014, so while I do like this question I'll be surprised if it comes up. Asked in 2012 and there's too much un-asked stuff to be repeating that soon. Same dealeo, but 2011. Ditto with all these. They don't tend to repeat...

    Subaltern studies are legit the worst though. I am so glad I never have to read another word of spivak's disgusting prose ever again.

    But can the subaltern speak? Also, what was up with the 'cafe angelique' poorly edited into the atb stimulus. I thought that was kind of weird.

    Wrong Exam Book

    They'll probably catch it at marking anyway, but sounds like a good idea to do what others in this thread have recommended.

    I was very happy with my after the bomb responses. If anyone remembers, evertone and myself both called politics question on the predictions thread, so it wasn't ultra-unpredictable or anything. That being said there is literally no better quote I could have been given for the stimulus. The...

    Extension Courses in Science

    My recollection is that there used to be an extension science course like they suggested which went under "4 unit science" and Sydney Grammar used to dominate it ever year. Then they cut it in 2001 due to 'costs'. Strong backpedal bostes.
