    SMH Article

    haha, there was absolutely no intrigue in the subjects we did: old kingdom egypt and periclean athens. maybe that pericles was in love with a prostitute? *shrug* ancient was the subject i was most utterly elated to see the back of. i hope that gets quoted someday too.

    Italian Extension

    I start this thread in the vain hope that some of the people who did the exam will actually reply :) So what did you think? I thought it was pretty good, I was a bit confused with the reading section because it was the section of the film I hadn't really thought much about and so had to go...

    Question C - unfair in another way

    I think masterofdisguise or whatever variation they have on the spelling has been suitably torn to shreds now :) It is very clear that it is unfair to say that we weren't prepared for legal studies, when it has already been established that it was not in the syllabus. There's also nothing...

    Italian

    those exam supervisors are an interesting bunch in the trials the one for extension tried to take our dictionaries away coz they thought we were cheating and we had to explain several times that it was allowed, emphatically pointing at the clear instructions on the front of the paper...

    Italian

    Section II - Crime

    THAT would be damn hilarious. I can see the story now: Stony faced high cheek-boned reporter: "Last Friday morning thousands of young students across the state went to a Legal Studies exam, their hopes high, their futures bright. But THEN.. *cut to scene of education minister walking in...

    Section II - Crime

    My second official statement for the evening *lol* I too looked upon Section II question (c) and went :| WTF? No it is not in the syllabus, no I have never heard any mention of it from my teachers or in any textbook. Yes I made 40-odd pages of Crime notes over the year on the many points that...

    Section II - Crime

    lol are you dissing the pigeon story? i like it :) trying to hatch a plastic egg is the perfect metaphor for legal studies questions sometimes

    Section II - Crime

    to the assertion of some people that 'males and females' was just meant to trick us and it was just a politically correct 'people' explain what we were supposed to COMPARE and CONTRAST then? let us examine this reworded question "compare and contrast the problems faced by young offenders...

    Dying Forum

    Errr? I have never encountered that possibility or had it mentioned to me. Ever. Our ones are invariably letters and emails about school or holidays or something to a penfriend. At least we get dictionaries hehe.
