That's UNPOSSIBLE, sorry :bomb: . All the advice I can give you is write out your notes so that YOU understand them- who cares if its ten million pages long. It's probably good to stick to one main answer and just 'refer' to other side points, too.

For me PDHPE was just common sense stuff. The best thing for me was to go out and experience my notes for myself, like talking to the receptionist at the doctor's office about health care and practicing managing injuries on friends for sports med. Once you've seen it and done it, it all falls...

Fair enough.

Why would you need to write TWO essays? It isn't even the format of the HSC. But anyway, if you have to write that much discuss religion (beliefs, practices, organisation, buildings) first and relate it all to how it influenced funerary practices. In terms of funerary customs as far as i can...

The krypteia's role was to keep the helots from revolting, which involved killing those that had the potential for leadership. That's your main point, basically. Look up Plutarch and Plato as your primary sources, and books by modern historians about Sparta as they should all at least refer to...

Excel and Macquarie don't work by themselves, i wouldn't bother with them. Our school used PDHPE Outcomes which was really comprehensive, but most of the info was irrelevant. I'd go with this one, and if you can Health Moves gives a good summary if Outcomes gives you a meltdown.

Nope PDHPE isnt a science. But you get the opportunity to do a bridging course in Uni to cover it. And dw my subject choices were all over the place- as long as you enjoy your subs and can do well in them you're sailing.

Preach it brother... AGREE

There's also a Heinemann version of the topic that has stuff on Spartan economy. The main sources you should refer to are Plutarch and Xenophon, and seeing its economy go with Aristotle too.

That question's practically telling you to put the whole syllabus in an essay! You need to always include both perspectives rather than just those who didn't like the Spartans e.g. Plato vs. Aristotle. Also with the other states, that's not really a part of the syllabus but you could mention...

That was along the lines of an essay we had to write some time ago- I argued Athens did the most i.e. Themistocles and other naval commanders, Marathon, Hellenic League, and that Sparta only really contributed at Thermopylae (which is most important for the 'Spartan mirage' and has little value...

Yeah i found the exam really easy too. But it would be easy to tell who really knows what they're doing and who's bullshitting. I was really happy with the paper- i thought i was gonna do really crap from doing the past exams. But... now i'm free!! :rofl:

I really focused on the word 'distinguish' in my answer, where most of it I talked about how the body has to adapt to those immediate responses so it can take harder work. In terms of the specific points eg. oxygen uptake, i only mentioned them rather than going into complete detail and only...

Okay then, i did my own research :mad1: ALTHOUGH if u type in google search 'define: atherosclerosis' most of the responses refer to fatty build up, those that refer to 'hardening' say the build up is merely a causal factor. And i stick with Wikipedia! B FOREVER!!

Well for me i did terrible in the yr 11 'history and arch' introductory topic but as soon as we started Pompeii i was fine. If ur just starting the topic then just get through most of the course first before u get notes or u'll have an info overload. Also, notes aren't really study unless u do...
