Thanks for that. That's what I hoped for.

I'm ranked 1st and 2nd in all of my classes. But I go to a really, really, shitty school... Say I score 85% on all of my subjects (see my signature) How will my marks be affected by this? Thanks.

Hey, Thanks for the replies! I guess only a select few Unis offer it... Thanks,

Hey, during the final days of last term a friend tried convincing me that only UOW had early entry. I refused to believe it, although my school recently participated in the UOW Discovery Day, and as a result, the only early entry we have heard about is from UOW. Can anyone confirm that all other...

Hey, I am currently fixing up my first draft of the hist ext major. One of the comments the teacher left was that I need to reduce certain aspects of the paper and expand upon the analysis of historians and sources. Can anyone tell me roughly how long each analysis should be? A paragraph? A...

Thanks for that ArtemisOrthia, I'm going to do as many past papers as I can to make sure I know all of the examinable content. It would be awesome to bounce ideas on the core and other parts of the subject if you're willing to. Jaundice, what do you mean by 33 possible essay questions? Our...

That's exactly what I'm after. Thanks. I plan to read up on the works of the ancients during this two week holiday, I have recently finished Herodotus' Histories and Xenophon's Cyropaedia, so I will give those a try! I actually own the studies in Ancient Persia textbook, although I hate...

Hey, I'm trying to get a collection of sources I can use for Persia. So far I am aware of: Herodotus - The Histories. Xenophon - Anabasis / Cyropaedia Is there anything else?

Thanks for that! Theres just so much to learn in great detail and it's the exact same for the WWI core in modern history. At least it should be sourced-based, worst situation: I'm simply going to interpret the source until I run out of lines.. Thanks for that.

Hey, I am quickly brushing over my ancient notes before the exam. I know its not possible to go in detail on everything to do with Pompeii, so i'm trying to determine the most vital topics to study in regards to the core topic Pompeii and Herculaneum. By looking at past papers, I have: -...

That's great, Thanks for that.

Hey, I understand that Macquarie is pretty big on history, I think they're the only uni that offers undergraduate courses on Egypt & the Near East. However I was browsing the course list and it appears that Macq lacks any courses on the schools of history writing. I see Sydney Uni offers...

In addition, i'm pretty sure the Capitoline triad in the forum was based on Capitoline hill in rome.

Thanks for that!

Can someone please confirm that we are indeed supposed to be writing a historiography on a subject rather than just a history essay? I'm pretty sure that's what the major is, I'd just like some confirmation on it though. Thanks.

What?

Hey, thanks for fixing that all up for me. Thanks for that!

Yes, I understand to end on some sort of conclusion. Right now, in my conclusion I dont take either side. I simply rant on how revising history is important. I may have to fix this up!

I did really bad on my first maths assessment and I'm probably ranked around 7th or 8th in the class. Does that mean that if my ranking remains this low, the 7 or 8 people ahead of me will get a higher ATAR in maths? Thanks.

D would probably be correct since Tacitus did record the event. But it sounds like a trick answer to me: Archaeologists know that people came from neighbouring towns and villages to use the amphitheatre because "There was a riot in Pompeii in 59AD", makes no sense. Edit: A-C ACTUALLY answer...
