1. i dont think any of the 1/2 yearlies r the same...they r usually made up by your own school
2. check out the past paper HSC questions, because in my 1/2 yearly, my teacher used past paper questions. So go get all of them and do them!!
3. go here: http://www.boredofstudies.org/community/showthread.php?t=45210 there's some great stuff on sparta there. Also, whatever you have learnt in class, MEMORISE IT!!!!! You're only going to be tested on wat u have learnt, so keep reading ur notes and do PAST PAPER QUESTIONS, i cannot stress this enough

Good Luck!

Sparta is really an easy area. Everything links back to them wanting a strong military - from the landscape that made them secluded and paranoid to the agoge which trained their young to die for Sparta. If you remember this, then you cant go wrong. A tip that helped me in Sparta was to remember one source for each section. i.e. For the agoge i remembered Plutarch, For women i remembered Xenaphon. Its also good to remember that:
- Aristotle was negative ( a typical Athenian)
- Xenaphon loved them (he spent time living there)
- Plutarch was somewhere in the middle

This way if you cant remember who said something, think about whether it is positive, negative or in between and 9 times out to ten if you attribute it to Xenaphon, Aristotle and Plutarch respectively, you'll be right.

Hope that helps
