wow...that was totally unexpected... did anyone else find the exam extremely difficult? the crime writing creative writing question...well i didn't actually realise they could do that, I just wrote my story anyway...the essay was alrigghtt I guess. Thoughts?

lol well it's nice to see that we are all screwed :P speaking of screwed...due to the massive shortage of time I'm resorting to memorising prepared essays for the last 2 essays...bad idea yes?

Who's ready? Who's coming to the realisation that they have an entire syllabus to learn in 1.5 days? I'm more the latter...probably shouldn't of focussed so much on ancient :(

Well its done, Was actually easier than expected, and I didn't like the 10 marker for Pompeii (I pretty much didn't look at that syllabus point because I assumed it wouldn't be on it...ah well) but the rest was pretty good. pretty happy with it anyway, now onto learning the whole legal...

Wow I don't know what to think about that...I guess what you're saying is that it is rewarding but bloody hard, which is fair enough. Thanks for the reply guys, apologies again for the subjectiveness which some of you pointed out. Might think about the work experience in future but too early...

I'm currently in year 12, close to completing the HSC and I'm looking into a law degree at a few universities. I'm concerned mainly with two questions, and yes I realise they are subjective and opinionated but I'd like a range of opinions if possible. Firstly, is a law degree at university...

Obviously this is different for everybody, but I have never gone into an English examination without having an essay/story memorised and in the trial exams which just passed I had my story and each essay memorised. And yes, it worked a charm. I guess the trick is, like some people have said...

So it seems to me that the entire HSC so far has been an exercise of who is the best at bullshit, and making said bullshit look realistic. I guess my question is whether there is really any way the marker will know if I say; "Spartan society was the foremost military power of the ancient...

I have the same problem with the "awaiting copyright clearance" issue with basically every exam on the damn site... frustrating, very frustrating.

Well they're marked internally so I don't think its strict really. I went with 1.5 but yeah I doubt our teacher cared what spacing we used.

Yes Im Bored, 34 here (Double spaced times new roman 12)

Awesome thanks guys so what I gather for this is, Know a few historians (3-4?) really well as well as what "school" they are from (empiricism, marxism etc.) Know where I stand and what my own opinion is regarding how they've formulated these opinions. Well I hope so... Thanks again

yeah that was definetly a positive.... I do have 3 time consuming assessments + an ext 2 major work to do though :P So it could be worse :)

Man you're lucky ours was due last term... Now I have to focus on figuring out what the hell to do in the trial :S Ahh the woes of the hsc...

Thanks nail, Just about the book of readings...how important is it? Our teacher downplays its importance and pretty much says not to worry about it too much. Bad idea?

Thanks for the reply, there's just something I'm not clear on, In my response, would I have to base it around that one event, personality or situation? I know you said the related texts do not need to but I'm referring to the essay in general (Sorry I'm pretty confused). Or is it more just...

Can't find any threads on this, so I thought I'd make one. The trials as I'm sure everyone knows are really really close, and I for one haven't started study for history extension yet mainly out of a lack of knowing how to. I don't really have any notes, because our teacher doesn't give us...

Thanks for the help, One more thing, probably a stupid question, Declaring an 8500 word count would be a bad idea right?

If, of course, it is possible. Has it been done? have you done it and gotten away with it? How many words over did you go? I'm really asking because my own story is 500ish words over the limit...and I've already cut it down from over 9000 words and I feel like I'm really taking away from it...

Thanks for the reply, So it will most likely be a minimum of 2 poems then? I'll probably stick to 2 anyway and do them in detail. Thanks again
