    Employment advice.

    My situation is as follows. I am at uni 5 days a week, constantly busy in terms of studying etc. However, at the moment I am on holidays with about 3 weeks remaining with absolutely nothing to do. Would it be worth applying for a job now considering the fact that a best case scenario would be...

    General thoughts

    I thought the exam was alright. Definitely harder than trials though. I thought the multichoice was hard for some reason. For the option topic I reckon I got full marks.

    What a great paper!

    Exactly my point, look at the exemplary samples and they use a few quotes, but are used well. Byt the band 5/6 responses usually don't have any. http://arc.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/standards-packs/SP06_15270/go/2006/modern-history/exemplary-samples/section-ii/question-12b/sample/index.html

    Anyone Else Abhore Personality Question?

    Actually I thought it was good for mine - Douglas MacArthur. Initially I was a bit...ARRRGH but then I thought about it and I pulled it off quite well. Did about 5.5 pages for that part.

    What a great paper!

    Can you quote that ? LOL My teacher marks the HSC and she said that quotes generally don't make too much difference. By that I mean historians mainly.

    Personality Essay Questions

    Are you serious ? I did about 5.5 pages and I got 24/25 in trials for one of my essays. How many words do you mean though ? My essay was pushing 1400 words I think.

    Pacific Thread

    Well technically they can ask us on either 'Collaboration and Resistance' and 'The use of slave labour' individually can't they? Also, which key feature and issue is 'the impact of the fall of the phillipines,...' go under?

    Pacific Thread

    Well it says 'collaboration and resistance, the use of slave labour' so i guess you could talk about something like the Burma Railway?? But how does that link to a possible question? The key feature says 'impact of war on occupied territories' so that seems straight forward. However, detail...

    Pacific Thread

    Nationalism and Imperialism - because it hasn't been asked for about 4 years. As well as something on Civilians at War whether it's home front or collaboration. Whats the possibility of an Abomb or Allied Occupation question ?

    Personality Essay Questions

    How long should each section be ? Because i think i could almost write a booklet just on the evaluation. But we've only got about 20 or 25mins maximum. So is 2 pages (8 words/line) enough ?

    Thesis and arguments

    Changing the topic a bit, how hard is it to get say....above a 38 in this subject ? Because I got 36 for trials but i don't think ill get that in the HSC because of all the high range competition :( In terms of essay construction and a thesis, should we be looking for what OUR interpretation is...

    Should we have a thesis for essay one ? Or will that restrict us because of the source ? Also, it would be helpful i think if people could please mention some possible arguments that may be integrated into the source e.g. history being constructed. With regards to those arguments, because some...
