    Thoughts on the 2015 HSC

    Very easy exam - I was pretty shocked. P+H was straightfoward, no really tricky questions like usual. Sparta role of kings would have gotten a few people as well as inferiors I imagine but I think my stuff was alright. I feel like I screwed up Hatty's relationship with Priesthood of Amun a...

    Personality section

    Some of the information does overlap - but they will be 2 distinct questions and should be treated as such. Part B is generally more evaluative of legacy/life/an important aspect and based on historical perspectives, part A generally more descriptive and focusing on early life/rise to prominence.

    Help my pitiful soul!

    Ken Webb or HTA Study Guide - both have worked well for me. Excel can be alright as a reference point but don't rely on it.

    If you are interested in history do it for sure. You always have the securing of 11 units and can drop it if it isn't working out for you :) It's a great course.

    First question...it was Bacchus I do believe! Pompeii and Herculaneum was a great section, I was cheering when I saw political life and the sources were good. 10 Marker was great as well! Overall better than I thought it would be!! Sparta was really good - nice, easy short answers and the long...

    H.I.P recommendations???

    I did Stalin for mine and got full marks in Prelim - it's great to do someone that nobody else is doing in your class, from a time period that may be relevant to your Year 12 course (e.g. Franz Ferdinand or another key person related to WW1) or most importantly a period of history that interests...

    Traditional view of Sparta?

    Your subject regrets

    Dropping Ancient history

    I would say hang on to it for a bit longer and see how you feel as a new topic will begin really soon. If things really don't feel right (trust your gut, and how your marks are going) change from there.
