    Section III - Personality

    I wrote 2 booklets for Hatshepsut questions... and still didn't cover everything. You're right, they were so broad. But I think I did well enough. I hope I did anways. I'm half really glad they were broad questions, because I could answer them really well, but half annoyed, because it means that...

    Dude, If you write notes from the syllabus, it should help to do assignments as well...

    So, who's finished?

    I liked, well liked is a strong word, but I didn't mind legal. It should be an okay exam. Then I'll be free. You can take our HSC, but you can never take our FREEDOM! Obviously that quote makes no sense, but when I hear the word freedom, I think about Braveheart...

    UAI REALITY ChEcK!!!!

    Thats a bit harsh. Shanking him. Lol. I thought book 7 was a bit of a let down after the first read, I want to see if it improves upon the second. Its like, quick, throw as many absolute flukes and weird plot devices into it as possible, and it'll come out good, I swear. And yes, emo-ness, ftw...

    Starting year 12

    Well I did business by correspondence and legal through my school. With correspondence the most important thing is to stay on top of your work... try to get ahead, use every session that you get to work on it. Correspondence, for me, meant spending a lot of time on it at home and doing all...

    General Thoughts - Ancient History

    Lol. What bs. You cannot do an hour of work and get band 6. The festival question for Sparta was hard, because I wasn't sure what it was asking. I wrote a paragraph on the three festivals (except I didn't call it the Apollo Karnei, just Karneia) Then talked about similarities and differences of...

    Section IV - Historical Period

    Re: Section IV - Historical Periods Dude, Thut III is like the most important military figure in the New Kingdom Breasted calls him "The Napoleon of Ancient Egypt". Dammit, when am I ever going to need to know that again, but I bet I remember it forever... and yes to someone else's post...

    Estimate Raw Mark Band Cutoffs

    There has been one FOI application for raw marks, which fishy has linked in a post above... It went from an 83 to a 90, in 2004. So, I really don't think there's going to be that kind of scaling, due to the awesomeness of this exam.

    General Thoughts - Ancient History

    Wtf I don't get it, you do 2 years of work... then leave 1/3 of the way into the exam. Meh. Well, atm I think i'm looking at, at least- P+H-22/25 Sparta-22/25 Hatshepsut-23/25 NKE Thut IV- 22/25 A grand total of- 89/100.. at the least. Wow, thats my internal mark. Coincidence? I think not.

    How u feel going in to the exam

    I've been surprised by how much easier the exams are, than what I make them out to be in my mind. The night before I usually go, "argh im going to fail, im stuffed, etc." Then I wake up the next morning, go to exam and just go "wtf was I stressing about", then repeat this process ad infinitum...
