    General Thoughts: History Extension

    I was relieved they didn't put in an ANZAC question, because literally everybody was predicting that they'd do it. If they did do a ANZAC question, it would have been something like how has history been used and abused... I did Herodotus, Bede, Elton, Jenkins, Schama, Kapur and Fitzsimons for...

    No - all responses are marked to a common standard. They're never harsher in marking to a particular option.

    General Thoughts: History Extension

    I somehow think your 69/50 score will get you to the 100th. ;) How many words would that be?? I physically cannot write over 2.5K words in two hours... I've also heard it's more important to do well on the core section, for that determines the aligning on the option.

    +1 what mcchicken said I got accepted into Goldstein college, which is great! UNSW Village is good I've heard - they're like UniLodge or apartments.

    General Thoughts: History Extension

    Instead of writing Donelly and whoever the other person was, I just wrote Donelly et al. or just said Source A. Eg. Donelly's et al. assertion... Overall the exam was excellent. I took time to really answer the question, which compromised the length of my responses (8 pages Q1, 7.75 pages for...

    Predictions for 2015 HSC?

    They could use a source about Gallipoli, but, really, it wouldn't impact the question much. It'll still hover around the 5 questions of historiography.

    Poems

    As a poetry enthusiast and as someone who writes poetry, this thread makes me so happy. It's fantastic to see that people like poetry :).

    Anyone doing Italian Continuers 2015? :)

    I was the only person at my centre doing the paper. So I had supervisors watching me work alone for the whole time! They were actually really good aha - they stayed at the back and just silently worked. Occasionally came over to see if everything was OK, and went back into the corner. Italian...

    Anyone doing Italian Continuers 2015? :)

    The Beginners paper was very good I thought. Listening was a bit challenging (when isn't it challenging), but I answered it all (using every line all the time and sometimes more). Yeah, I liked it a lot! And my supervisors and I had a chat at the end about Italy and languages and English...

    Flop is fluent in Italian. If you just write spaghetti and ciao in the exam, you can expect VERY good things.

    I knew that this was Google Translated become "il mio nome" is really jarring aha! A better translation Icy would be something like "Mi chiamo IcyRain e mi piace un sacco fare sesso ogni giorno perche` sono un maniaco"..... Mystery - I hate listening excerpts where there's an interview >:(...

    Ciao a tutti!! :D Studio Italiano Principianti - non vedo l'ora di finire questa materia il giovedì. Penso che il tempo è volato via - mi ricordi il mio giorno primo, due anni fa, quando ho chiesto la mia prof d'Italiano "come ti chiami?" sul cellulare (perché ho fatto Italiano per la...

    English Area of Study to be dropped

    This is a wonderful comment! I never quite understood why we did Module C. Aren't we *learning* about how composers position us/represent things through the other Modules? Do we really need to spend weeks upon weeks finding ways to express "a text is a construction" over and over? Isn't it...

    Which elective did you do coz? Page numbers are kind of useless. I wrote 1.6K for the essay and 1.3K for the creative. Very happy with that

    Hey coast, Each option is weighted separately. So you actually want harder questions.
