    World War One

    As far as source C goes it was compiled in 1917, so i just made the presumption it was written before the Zimmermann Telegram so he had freedom to travel Germany and it wouldn't have been tainted with too much bias as until the Lustiania the Americans were more annoyed with the British because...

    Arab-Israeli Question - What did you think?

    I used to think that but then i learnt from the Jewish chick in my class. You probably would have been better off with Arafat because you can be opinionated on the personalities, but she kept getting marked down for being too biased in her analysises. I suppose its hard to stay dispassionate...

    Section 2

    Re: case study - wtf!? so glad for the edit there, I was htinking...I must've really screwed this up, but more than that, Clendinnen was a guy? I hope they don't dock marks for being stupid enough to get genders wrong. And to the guy who started the thread and complained about Tacitus...

    Crime Fiction - Essay

    loved the essay question to death...worked the view that mystery is developed by the conventions, but that crime fiction has a double nature when revealing discvery...there si the superficial discovery and resolution within the text, but outside of the text there was the audience's discovery of...

    World War One

    I did exactly the same thing as you for all of it, but for q3 I also added the united states brought in escorts protecting shipping so also worked to help keep supply in that way, just figured u could use source A a little more so why not. And as far as attrition, I just worded it...

    Arab-Israeli Question - What did you think?

    oh dear god...how cld they ask about that war....I really wanted something on foreign influences and all...48 war was a worthless piece of shit, other than the creation of israel i dont think it did anything, especialy given the 'conflict' they wanted us to refer to were 56 and 67 which were...

    So what did everyone think of it??

    these are what i did...ther was a little freedom there. I hated the question though, its pretty much the same as the sample paper so I didn't expect it at all the failure of weimar to build up support was a variety of reasons, hyperinflation, falws in constitution and the nationalist...

    Maths Ext 1 - General thoughts on the exam

    I'm a freak, I think. I was goign through the paper, first 4 qns thinking wtf I know none of this. Granted this was always going to be my spare unit and i haven't taken it seriously, not that i've taken much seriously. but when I got round to 4,5,6 I was like hammering them. I saw those...

    Band 6 cut off?

    umm...its an extension course so you'd be looking for an E4 band. I wouldn't have a clue where they fall, but the bands are bigger in extension courses because the assumption is that more of them are in the elite group of the state. I think most of the state falls in band E3 though, that pretty...

    Pompeii and Herculaneum Food Question

    Now I'm not one to complain here, but I want to present the flipside. There are some of us who don't have textbooks on Pompeii and Herculaneum, my el povo public school asks for 1 000 bucks a year from each student and then wastes money on a puppet theatre for the 10 drama students in the senior...

    4 (c) Probability

    I did a tree diagram, if the working out is there, i think the teachers would take into account it was a horribly worded question

    Rank the exam

    I got through it and it wasn't overly hard...abt 3 or 4 marks that i didn't understand, but it was still too long. Normally I finish in 2 or so hours so I voted difficult and long, but I'd really go for moderate and long if I cld

    Who didn't finish just because the paper was long not TERRIBLY hard?

    I normally finish all the past papers in 2 hours...this one was just long. I got up to 10 and all I skipped was 9)c) second part. I didn't finish reading it in reading time so I kind of paced myself all the way through until about an hour lfet when i was only on question 9. I was getting...

    Why was Spartan women 10 marks?

    Very nice pick up on the short hair. Missed that quickly. Thinking about it more thoroughly, I think I treated this question really superficially and focused more on just putting down everything I knew about Spartan women. I didn't know anything about periokoic and helot women so I just didn't...

    Was English a waste of time?

    Of course not, I learnt so much in my English lessons. With 2 of my friends I spent the entire year playing games on my laptop, lame I know, but I managed to come up with a reasonable excuse for why we're passing a laptop between three of us all year. Of course my teacher knew what we were...

    Why was Spartan women 10 marks?

    I thought the come back on your shield or carrying it line was part of the sayings of spartan women...oh well Theonly way they could've asked 10 marks on Lykurgus is if everyone in the state had read the life of Lykurgus, and even then for people to use other sources would be difficult...

    Pompy's special commands

    I did the other one because I hate the military aspect, but I imagine most of my class probably ended up doing that because thats the quesiton most of them did for the trials. I was really bummed out that they ignored the second triumvirate. I was hoping for a personality other than Pompey...

    Pompeii and Herculaneum Food Question

    Seems people as a whole had problems with this question, I read somewhere some teachers just glazed over it. Have your bitch about your teacher here or just write down what your wrote. I just realised I called it a tabularium when it was actually a thermopolium...joy for me
