Mmmm...I had 9 days between eng paper 2 and ext eng. I thought great, I'll use them to study for modern, ancient and extension history, which are all crammed into this week. Did I do that? Nope. I watched tv, read a few books, and then decided I needed to spend the second half of that time doing...

Hmmm...I guess the safest thing to do is not directly quote if you can't remember. Say if you know vaguely what an historian thinks about a certain topic, eg Tyldesley believes Hatshepsut's rule was conventional and as successful as the majority of other New Kingdom kings, and just paraphrase...

Nooooo way. Remember what you learn about the UN in legal is looking at it from a totally different perspective to history. You need to comment on different concepts, manipulate your points in a different way, and it helps if you've read some historians who have something to say on it. Remember...

Extension is sooooo much easier than advanced. I get high eighties for advanced, high nineties for extension. The only thing is, be warned...I found that as soon as I started doing extension my makrs for advanced went from mid nineties to eighties. I think extension gives you a whole new...

I like China, it's the easiest to study for because it's basically the same series of events which you memorise and apply to any question. The problem is I never finished the topic and didn't do the civil war....so early stuff is what I'm praying for. Yeah, our teacher chose China for the...

Yeah I'd be happy with New Culture etc. Just hoping they don't ask anything about the civil war....

Not in mine...actually, for art yes it is way higher than I am expecting. But for everything else, it's not that high.

I get it now...if you get in, you definitely got 43 or above. If you don't, that doesn't mean you didn't get 43.

I'm confused.... Say if you get in, can you then be 100% sure you got 43 or over? Or if you don;t get in, does that mean you definitely got less than 43? I'm not really fussed about art express, just want an idea of my mark...ours haven't been marked yet.

Yeah, but they've had failure of the GMD and Maoism before.....I'm scared.

I'm sure this has prolly been asked somewhere else, but I'm lazy....is it true that if your work got 43 or over it's automatically in the selection pool for artexpress?

Don't write your notes in permanent marker. I have been and it makes me so dizzy and sick, but I can't stop now cos I have this thing with having all my notes in the same pen and written out in the same format. So I'm just woozy. Use biro.

Yeah well it's not in the marking criteria like it is in ancient so I guess it's not essentially, but definitely better to try and at least mention some names. I wouldn't quote from your text book though. Try and find actual historians, otherwise you defeat the purpose.

Sun. Damn, I really want that question! Or warlords, but that's been done and I doubt they'd repeat a question this soon into the new course. Any ideas what it could be?

I'm not half way yet...done 3, 4 to go. Modern, ancient and extension history next week (aargh), then art in the last week. Oh well, I'm more than half way time-wise. This time in a week and a half it will all be over. I feel sick from accidentally inhaling my permanent marker as I write notes. :(

Hey guys, Just wondering, there's never been a question on the First United Front...do you think that it's a possible question or too specific for an HSC q since it doesn't cover much of the period?

I'm so scared about them taking forever with the booklets that I put up my hand as soon as I start a second one so that it's there ready for me half an hour later...

I walked into the extension english exam and the supervisor had the radio on some strange station...only softly, but she left it on while the other guy read out the instructions and stuff...I'm not sure if it was on during reading time cos I zoned out but it was so weird, especially since...

I have a little silver elephant that sits on my desk and I always wear my earrings that have stars on them. Oh and I have to write with a black artline pen.

Does anyone else find the short answer personality questions are weird? I have done so much research for Hatshepsut and I feel really comfortable with everything I know (I think I know more for her than for NK-->Tuth4) but I just find the questions obscure and ambiguous, I can never quite tell...
