Don't stress it too much. I was in a very similar position and the teacher I had did WAY more harm to me than good. I'd suggest trying looking for teachers/ex-students who will give you the feedback you need and I'm sure your effort will pay off. For all you know, you might just have a bad...

Anything is possible to turn around in the HSC - especially when it comes to internals. I got 60% on one of my Modern History assessments and thought I was gonna do awful but ended up pulling a 96 in the HSC - so don't get discouraged, you'll always have externals to do great in.

It's not really needed in every essay; stats, facts and evidence is more important. But I'd say 1 piece of historiography is good per essay.

In the old syllabus, some of the dotpoints from the survey were asked as essays that's why u might've seen them asked as questions. But NESA specified that for the new syllabus the Essays are ONLY from the focus of study and key features. So u can disregard the survey (that's what I'm doing)...

I'd put money (and pray) that there's at least an economic transformation or social/cultural transformation question this year cos they haven't asked any of them yet. And if they ask a soviet foreign policy question (which is equally likely as a Stalin transformation question) it would be on the...

idk maybe something like "Explain the reasons for the power struggle between Stalin, Trotsky and other leading Bolshevik figures in the 1920s." - or it could relate to competing visions. That's the only type of question they haven't asked yet from the "Consolidation section", they could repeat...

That's from the first dotpoint of the consolidation section; its asking for the impact of the Bolshevik consolidation not the impact of Stalinism.

It says on the NESA sample document that questions CAN'T be drawn from the survey, but there might be links to it. Also, If parts of the survey are in the key features, it can be asked.

I reckon they might ask a question on the Economic transformation under Stalin (since they did the political transformation last year) - could also be social/cultural. I pray they don't ask anything again on the Bolshevik Consolidation of Power (I'm just disregarding the survey), but they might...
