Hey guys - just thought I'd share the past papers for my sections, Russia, Trotsky and Cold War - post your own, and perhaps we can figure out any trends that may be in our favour for tuesdays exam... Russia: 2008 a) To what extent did leadership conflict and differing visions for the USSR...

Thanks! Yeh, I'm hoping for an NEP question too, even if they branched out into the civil war. I think that's most likely, as - 2008 was on leadership conflict and differing visions + stalin's five yr plans - 2007 was on communism in theory and practice + impact of stalinism on society...

This is probably wrong, but today I looked up all the past questions for my topics and then put them against the syllabus to see which dot point hasn't been used yet... or the least... anyway, here's what I have (just for National/International studies...) Russia 1 Bolshevik consolidation...

High band five, I'm guessing 80 to 85. Low band 5 I'm guessing 75 - 80?? Just a guess mind you!

I know a few people who had juvenile arthritus, and so got extra writing time/rest time because of that. I think that's pretty fair, and a legit reason...however, that wouldn't be a big percentage of people getting provisions for writing...

Next year?

1933 - Russia: Stalin's 2nd Five Yr Plan. Stalin feared German invasion, thus, made defense a higher priority and moved key industries to Siberia (lol...) and Western Asia. 1923 - Trotsky: On Dec 8th a letter expressing revolutionary ideas was written by Trotsky. The troika later used this...

I like the fact its 84ish. It gives us mere mortals a chance!

Dude... Scots College 1 in 4 kids. THAT isn't just.

1917: WW1 - US entry into the war for two main reasons: 1. Germany had suggested an alliance with Mexico, sending the Zimmerman Telegraph on 1st March 1917 which outraged the US. 2. Germany declared to resume unrestricted submarine warfare. US reaction was powerful and immediate. The...

I totally get where you are coming from, but not all people who apply for provisions because of "stress" are abusing the system. There's a difference to "OMG I have an exam tomorrow" stress, and Clinical Anxiety, where getting out of bed, and even leaving the house can cause panic attacks.

1948: To boost economic prosperity, the Soviets and the West argued over currency reforms in the Western sectors. In April, Soviet troops enforced a road, river and rail blocks cutting Berlin off from the West. 3.5 mil Berliners were now trapped 110 miles from Western-controlled Germany. 1981

1972 - Strategic Arms Limitations Talks - SALT I Treaty signed which places a limit on the number of nuclear missiles each side can deploy. SALT I froze the number of strategic ballistic missile launchers at existing levels, and provided for the addition of new submarine-launched ballistic...

Yep same topics... I like descriptions :) 1946 - Iron Curtain speech - I think we already did this year? Anyway: Churchill believed the Comintern planned to extend communist control throughout the world, stating that Russia was upsetting the balance and possibilty of peace. The wartime...

1979 - Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. 1922 - Lenin has the wholehearted support of the Bolshevik party. What topics do you do? I'm guessing Russian Rev'n, Cold War - is your personality Trotsky by any chance? 1961

You don't get given special provisions unless you fit the requirements... and they are strict. I'm sure there are some which aren't necessary, but for genuine people, they aren't trying to beat "top state" kids. They just want an equal chance.

Hey Kaytt - I've always wondered how home supervision works. Does a BOS appointed supervisor come to your house?
