If you fail your 2 units of Modern History, can Ext still count? (1 Viewer)

[Med]

Hey Guys,

Just a problem i was hoping someone could help me with. I have 12 units- and i was just wondering if i were to fail my 2 unit Modern History course - could my Ext unit count towards my final HSC grade? OR can Ext not count without Modern History? ...

Thanx

Hey,

If you were failing 2 units of history, I would be worried about the 3rd, but that's neither here nor there.

If you fail your base unit, your extension will still count. It's not like they'll scrub the extension. To do the ext. subject, you need to "be doing the two unit one"- nothing to do with passing of it

Could you do us a favour and delete your duplicate thread?

if u can do well in extn u should ace modern (if u can be fucked learning facts )

If you're worried about failing modern I gotta wonder why you're doing extension history in the first place

because history ext is completely different to modern?

That's irrelevant.

The skills required in both courses are very similar, if not identical, and I doubt you could pass extension history without even passing modern.

SOME skills are common PwarYeux --> if it was true that the skills required were "identical" then anybody who did either ancient or modern history would succeed at extension history and that is simply not true.

I think the skills required are identical, Ext History just generally requires a hightened level of them.

[Edit] That is assuming that your school requires a research essay as part of your 2U Hist. internal mark, which I haven't heard any school not doing.
