Rome 264-133BC (Punic Wars)Horrible questions. Way too much content to cover. Conquest of Greece? Not in the syllabus.

Agrippina The YoungerI was expecting a question on Gaius and was quite bleh when I saw the question. It was easy - and I predicted it in another thread LOL. The second question: omg, content content content! I only did 2 ancient and 2 modern historians. I wrote 13-14 pages all together. Quite happy.

Agrippina: You are going to get questions that enable the markers to discriminate between students. So for example you wll not get asked HOW Agrippina was killed, but WHY she was killed. The same goes for the other dot-point's in the personality.

I wrote 16 pages, :)

Well, we were told that stuff you would never expect - to pay extra attention to it. That is why I am sort of worried. :S

Hey Miss,How many historical sources should we use in a personality question worth 15 marks for Ancient History?Thanks.

Hey Guys!What do you think the trends are for these topics in the HSC exams?- Pompeii and Herculaneum- Spartan Society- Agrippina the Younger- Rome's wars of expansionIs it worth studying based on trends if your doing last-minute study?

I think it is all about the introduction and how you defined "living religion".Markers are religion teachers, not members of the Exam committee. Religion teachers across the state know the exam paper was vague. They will look to give marks, not take them.Goodluck!

I just realised..They prob got the "living religion" from the name of that studies of religion I and II textbook. LOL

I personally think that if the question was to vague (like Christianity in Section III)then at least leave it open for different interpretation. My interpretation of Lukes post-resurrection account had NOTHING to do with Ethics, let alone significant practices. And also, the bible passage was...

I have now officially failed studies of religion.I thought I did well in that essay for Christianity in Section 3 - but I said how the continuing discourse amongst feminist theologians, adherents and figures of authority in the church, make christianity a dynamic and thus "living tradition".That...

I did Feminist theology for Christianity in Section III. I linked it by saying that as a result of the feminist theology movement - there is now increased religious discourse amongst christian variants, biblical studies have been revolutionised, the roles of women in the church are being...

I do think it was unfair that for Hinduism and Buddhism - the questions were straight forward (ie. they told you to talk about ethics and practices) whereas the others weren't. The Board of Studies obviously ran out of money and hired a group of steel-brained Neanderthals.

SHIT. Just realised... I did not write a title. haha.

SHIT. I forgot a title for my short story. LOL.

I thought the paper was fair and definately doable. I did think people with prepared responses would of wasted time memorising essays and short stories. I think section one was relatively easy, although some of the stimulus pieces (like the last one) were annoying. Section I - 12 pages...

Just make sure you have quotes, techniques, in-depth analysis, and strong ideas. It should not take long to study, maybe 30 minutes maximum.

What do you mean you don't know what you are doing? Get the prescribed text you studied for belonging and choose 2 pieces of related material. Come up with 2 ideas about belonging and get evidence from your texts to support you. Hope this helps.

Chouda, English is broken up into two papers. Paper 1 - Belonging Paper 2 - Modules Belonging will be tomorrow, the modules will be on Friday. Worry about distinctive voice later, focus on belonging now.

I agree! I love the politics/economy questions especially. How did you go in your trial for the essay?
