    General thoughts

    I thought the exam was alright. Definitely harder than trials though. I thought the multichoice was hard for some reason. For the option topic I reckon I got full marks.

    What a great paper!

    Exactly my point, look at the exemplary samples and they use a few quotes, but are used well. Byt the band 5/6 responses usually don't have any. http://arc.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/standards-packs/SP06_15270/go/2006/modern-history/exemplary-samples/section-ii/question-12b/sample/index.html

    Pacific Thread

    Well it says 'collaboration and resistance, the use of slave labour' so i guess you could talk about something like the Burma Railway?? But how does that link to a possible question? The key feature says 'impact of war on occupied territories' so that seems straight forward. However, detail...
