    Leni Riefenstahl

    The question asked you to talk about your personality's background and rise to prominence. Both phrases are used as headings in the syllabus outline, which pretty much means that you should talk about the dot points under those two headings, and leave out the stuff under Significance and...

    Annoyances

    I think the Board screwed up with the instructions to the exam supervisors, since it looks like a lot of schools had booklet problems. We got the WW1 question answer booklet, two four-page booklets and an eight-page booklet (not even enough to use a booklet for each question). Managed to fix...

    That exam was perfect in every way.

    Thanks for your input.

    Cold War

    We didn't cover Korea or the Berlin Blockade significantly in class, but they're both in the syllabus so I learnt them myself. A good thing as it turns out :D

    Predict ur maximum raw mark

    Do raw marks align up or down in modern history? That is, is a raw mark of, say, 85 likely to turn into a higher mark than 85 (assuming you came first in assessment)? Does my question make any sense?

    World War One

    My responses were pretty much exactly the same as Webby's.

    Cold War

    I chose the first one, couldn't remember enough about the later Cold War to do an essay on it. I argued that the Korean War was not as significant as either the Berlin Blockade or the Cuban Missile Crisis, since the former was instrumental in cementing Cold War divisions in Europe, and the...

    That exam was perfect in every way.

    Yeah, maybe the Board wanted to avoid a huge uproar with kids yelling 'THAT'S NOT IN THE SYLLABUS' and stuff. That said, I struggled with interpreting the second Personality question. The rest was pretty good.

    So what did everyone think of it??

    Smashed World War One, Germany and the Cold War, going to fail Douglas Macarthur. Perhaps they'll be lenient seeing as how he's a new study...

    Rank n File

    A slightly less (or perhaps more) confusing explanation :p Let's just assume that your internal marks were 88 and 87. a) You do crap (75 exam mark) and she does well (90 exam mark) Since she came first, the person who beat you gets the top exam mark (hers, probably) as her moderated...

    Maths Ext 2 - General thoughts on the exam

    Re: Maths EE2 - General thoughts on the exam 50%, depending on other stuff, could probably push you up to an 75 - 80. Although I don't do Maths :p some of my friends told me that your sort of mark could end up being that high of an HSC mark.. Riviet can probably tell you more than I can...

    How many marks would one use if you had only one historian

    Funnily enough, that's not true. In the 2004 book of Modern History sample responses, there's several very high-range responses. One quotes historians all the time to justify the argument. Another, according to the marker's comments, is 'at the very top of the high range' and doesn't mention...

    Equal 1st... what about HSC?

    I think it's still possible but requests and things have to be sent in to the Board of Studies, since ranks and marks have all been submitted by now. That's right, I'm posting while everyone's doing Paper 2. Muhahaha.

    Music 1 Exam Thoughts...

    I just assumed the vocal line was the melody and the string section was the accompaniment. Your interpretation sounds alright though :D Man...weird paper much?

    Is this true!??

    Sgs2006: You get your own external mark and your assessment mark is moderated to reflect the performance of the rest of your class. You don't just get the 4th exam mark as your assessment mark if you come fourth. Assessment marks have to be moderated in a fashion that preserves the gaps...

    extenision- crusader historians???

    Most of that is wrong :D The Traditionalist/Pluralist debate refers to the debate of 'What is a Crusade?' and not to questions of motivations, materiel etc. Traditionalists state that only an expedition launched in the name of God with its eventual aim being to conquer/capture Jerusalem is...

    Who didn't apply?

    When it says they close today, does that mean you can still submit them today? Just curious, I've already done my preferences.

    How important is hand writting?

    Spelling and grammar are heaps more important than handwriting :p Technically you aren't marked on spelling and grammar, but if you submit an essay full of errors it seems to the marker like you're uneducated, lazy, and just don't care.

    Highest UAI with these marks & ranks

    I reckon you're probably looking at low to mid 80's.
