is it just me, or does this subject have an insane amount of content? (3 Viewers)

my brain hurts!

Yes, it does. We're all stumbling through the truckload of information.

Pompeii has so much content......

and the greek world.

Sparta is mediocre and so is Hatshepsut (Hatshepsut has retarded questions though always)

In comparison to the modern exam, ancient is so much harder...Well, to me anyway.

I'm quite the opposite, haha. I think it's because I like Ancient so much more, I could spend hours leisurely studying Pompeii, where as if I go to study my national study for Modern it kind of drags on and on and on. D: Though content wise, I feel like there's less in modern. But my teacher selected topics that overlapped each other, whereas for Ancient we did a diverse range to suit everyone, so more to learn and remember.

I like History too, but the fact it's religiously forced down your throat by all this information we have to learn, just makes it like a chor, and takes out the interesting side to it.

For this reason, and this reason only, i believe thats what makes either modern or ancient the hardest subject in the HSC.

You think ancient and modern are full of content - try economics.

Hahaha, no thank you. Legal is bad enough for me, at least with the Histories I enjoy them a lot. n_n

 

[enoilgam]

Modern and to a lesser extent legal have a lot of content, but you can really drag points out with the questions they ask on the HSC. With a subject like economics, its very fact based, so you need to know every aspect of the course content. I remember I had around 40 and 50 pages of notes total for modern and legal respectively in comparision to 120 pages for economics (and my notes for eco were way more brief then legal or modern).

I really don't know how you coped doing 4/5 essay bound subjects mate.

I was good at essay writing. Too me, I dont know how people survive doing mx1, mx2, chemsitry, physics.

pretty easy actually

first off maths doesn't require any study AT ALL, i just rock up to exams with maybe one or two past papers the night before

chem and physics require you to know a bit of stuff but for most questions, as long as you understand the concepts then there's not much memorisation needed

I guess its a difference in skills - mine was with humanities whilst yours are with the maths and sciences. A guy at my school who was a gun in maths used to tell me all the time how he would hate to have my subject mix.

Yeah man, i respect people who do all those subjects. Honestly they require a lot of skill, whereas science etc is just concepts (although Physics especially with the relativity stuff you just have to accept it, and not question because although its understandable it's mindblowing). In saying that i find science pretty easy.

 

[krnofdrg]

Eco, Biz, Ancient, English << 4/5 ESSAY SUBJECTS OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG...


ECO is pretty smooth , although q 25-28's can be really annoying =.=..... Ancient-->> Pompeii is nuts for me..

 

[jessxxr]

i feel like im just spending the majority of my study time trying to actually finish my notes for each ancient module, it's taking a lot longer than i expected -_-

hang in there!

 

[slyhunter]

What if skills are humanities and maths based?

This will not end well.

 

[jessxxr]

hang in there!

thanks vinh!

 

[Morgan1234pooki]
