I did modern today and it was really easy.

All of my exams have been easy.

I just hope the trend keeps up with maths :(

I agree.

The questions were stupidly basic - I was gunning for a Weimar question about the role of the army and lo and behold - a generic question regarding downfall.

It did stuff me up slightly I rushed it - what extended responses did you guys do for Germany as a society?

I dunno, but I've never had too much trouble with the CSSA maths exams, they seem relatively easy compared to some of the other papers I've done. But then, most of those harder ones were Sydney Grammer School papers.
have to agree, cssa maths trials aren't very hard in comparison with other schools

quiet surprisingly, i dedicated my studies 4 maths in term 2 in completing the CSSA papers from 1992 - 2006, which in turn surprised me further wen i completed them ...

Yeah Modern was so much easier than i expected...i was freaking out but it turned out okay. That being said I'll wait to get my marks back before I say anything, lol.

Anyhow, for Germany I did (a), the downfall one, 7 pages.

For personalities (Albert Speer) did 5 pages, then for Cold War I did another 5 (not so sure about how I went in that essay!), did question (a) for that one too, the one about ideologies. Nearly did Reagan but changed my mind at the last minute.

Extension English tomorrow, then 3 to go!

Yeah me too!

How did you structure your modern response? I attempted to go thematically i.e. predisposition to cultural influences, opposition to the weimar, political inability of statesman, economic and role of hitler but it sorta all imploded on me :burn:

I have EE1 also tomorrow - cbf since its worth so little for mine.

I did Speer also - the first question was slightly wierd but I just still went Narrative stylz with more emphasis on the influences in his life i.e. father/hitler etc.

I don't do Germany - but the Russia questions were extremely easy also. They were broad enough so that you could bring in knowledge from a lot of the topic just to answer the question, which was helpful, because if it was very specific I would have died.

I liked the "influence" personality question, simply because I dont know many details about my personality's life.

The second half of the personality question was a joke. I mean, seriously.

Oh, and Visual Arts tomorrow..

My art teacher said "it is the hardest visual arts exam I have ever seen", and that "it's like they've run out of things to ask and they're getting really specific".

*Yay*

As soon as I opened the Modern Paper I was like OMG, but after I took a second to plan an essay structure the questions weren't actually that bad!

Did any of you guys do Arab Israeli? What question did you pick? I did (b) and talked about Labour/Likud policies and terrorism etc...hope that was the right kind of thing?

Arab-Israeli is, for some reason, my worst topic in Modern :(



Other than that...although I wouldn't say I've aced these exams, the questions have not been hard at all, I could answer every one of them with enough information to get marks, and by the time the HSC roles around I'm sure I'll be ready...so hopefully these exams are an indication of the level of difficulty of the HSC? If they're harder like some people are saying, then that would be great!!

=D

PDHPE was pretty fucking hard for me. What the fuck is a learning environment? My teacher didn't teach us shit about that. I just bullshitted something about the supportive environment around a potential athlete, but they provided 2 pages and I only filled up half a page for that question. :(

nah that was simple man. you had to talk about the skill acuqisition - cognitive, associative and autonomous. learning environment was like open, closed, discrete and non discrete and the learning process was through feedback, acting, deciding and percieving
