Good exam.

Would've done a whole lot better if i was prepared.

Cramming didn't work much.

WWI - Easy
Russia/USSR - First question was difficult but meh i still did it.
Trotsky - Easy
Cold War - EASY. Thank god i studied the Truman Doctrine the night before.

Just happy it's over.

i love cramming! I've studied for all my exams in the night before...with the War in the pacific, i only studied one aspect of it which was the civilians in occupied territories and thank god that was one of the questions or i woulda been so screwed! i thought it was a pretty good paper...

I'm a little bit nervous.

Section 1 was ok. Was I the only person who said the offensive wasn't that significant? I said it didn't have that much of a bearing on the war because the outcome had already been determined by the US intervention and the depletion of resources for Germany, in combination with growing war-weariness. I pretty much said that the offensive served only as confirmation that Germany was going to lose.

Section 2 was ok. Both were fair questions.

The personality questions sucked and didn't suit my personality at all. Especially the events one. How do you argue that "events effect people more than people effect events" when your personality has spend 30 of his 40 years in prominence in prison where the biggest events were chipping away at rocks?

Section 4 was relatively hard. If I talked about the right thing though, I'd have gone ok.

Overall, I went a bit over the lines for the WW1 questions, wrote 8 pages for National Studies, wrote 4 and a half for the first personality question, 5 for the second, and another 8 pages for the Indochina one. I finished as soon as they said pens down.

Overall, I'm not feeling too great about it.

hm world war one i wrote an odd 16+ pages for secition one...my hand hurts considerably.

germany i wrote 16 pages. i picked a

leni i done 16 for part b and 13 for part a

YAY HISTORY IS OVER FOREVER! I thought it was relatively easy but I probably could've done better if I'd actually studied more than just the afternoon and night before. My history teacher kept telling us we would need six weeks, I'd hate to think what he'd say if I told him i studied 6 hrs max. My hand hurts heaps tho and it was just pure luck that the questions were almost exactly what I studied except for indochina. But i bs'd anyway.

Does anyone do South Africa for National Studies? I did the international response question - 13 pages. Section 1 was really easy and Ludendorf's spring offensive and changing attitudes are just what i predicted - besides the home front. War in the Pacific - why occupied territories? i did it any way - 9 pages - i though it would be the homefronts. Personality questions was ok - a bit weird - but ok - question A didn't fit as well as thought it would - Nelson Mandela - overrall 12 pages.

Yay!... i thought the exam went really smooth for me. except the end my hand was hurting really badly. I thought everything was pretty good except i could have used some more quotes. But all in all... im hoping for a solid band 5, maybe low band 6 now.

I'm on 83% for school assessments.. so i dunno. But im sooooooooo relieved!
Except everyone said they did well........

 

[i.love.my.duck]

well i wrote like 25 pages for each section....

but seeing as i only wrote one word on each line, in actuality, i only wrote like 400 words for each section =P

At least the marker will be able to read it, unlike mine. I'm not even entirely sure I wrote in English!

lol i was just joking...but my writing is really hard to read as well...for my english trials, i had written on every paper: extremely poor handwriting affects meaning

.

Yer thats what i said. I said the previous events of the war took there toll on the German army. Like lack of resources, new british technology, arrival of Americans etc. I said the failure of the offensive was the catalyst that intensfied all these German weaknesses and subsquently started the German collapse and Allied victory.

Hey do you do Nelson Mandela - he was in gaol for 27 years, not 40. If you did, i understand - but you could have moulded the question to events such as Sophia Town in 1955 and Sharpeville or the near civil war crisis of 1984-85 / 1990-93 Inkatha/ANC violence - remember reovlutionary, conservative or nationalist.

You are all sick,

i cant believe i ever signed up to this shit website. after every exam i go home pissed off because my last five weeks of consistent 10 hour study days just amounted to a failure. and in trying to find someone who can empathise with me. all i can find is "Nailed it", 'UAI=100', 'i love history'.

oh yeh, and wats with those ppl who are on this site that graduated like 3-6 years ago. how can you even bring yourself to have any interest in the HSC after youve finished it. 'i think its time to move on'

does anyone else think like this are all you all the same.
