Modern History is nearing.

[Incubus Man]

I'm jealous of the people here who got complimentary topics such as Germany, Speer, European Theatre. Does anybody have any inklings so to say as to what the two questions for the Pacific Theatre will be?

 

[Kujah]

Meh. I got 5 in mind. Pearl Harbor, early advances, Guadalcanal, Home Front and A-bomb.

 

[osamabanana]

our teacher seems to think home front/role of women for ww1

 

[bliss2223]

can anyoneee predict the question for this years modern paper
im doinggg
WW1
GERMANY
SPEER
COLD WAR




i hope its nothingg hardd :[

we'd all LIKE to know what is in the exam, but sadly that isn't possible.
Safest bet is to stick to the syllabus and go from there.

 

[Wooz]

I loved last years paper with two close questions on Gorby in both the 'Cold War' the 'Personality' question with, w00t. Got me a high band 6 coz of it!

Did:
WWI
Germany
Cold War
Gorbachev

yeah cos women hasn't been done in a while...
i'm doing wwi, germany, speer and wwii
also for germany, people are predicting terror and repression, sa & ss kind of thing... although it's never safe to predict!!!

i'm freaking about about tuesday, there's wayyy too much learn in this course.

 

[xtremedude]

modern history, shmodern shmishtory

 

[nirvanafreak02]

just randomly last year 65% did germany

and <4% for india/japan/australia/indo

i kinda wish we got to do the obscure topic.. you can get away with making up more stuff


i hope core is not on women..... home front is less crap

 

[Tully B.]

Hey HSCers, any advice (now that you can fully reminisce) on how I can start a full, wholesome year of Modern History? Like, making notes before we learn the stuff, do lots of practice essays? I'm really bad with the Source Qs, any pointers with regards to that?
Cheers, and good luck.

Don't wait until two days before the exams to start studying.

 

[BabyK]

Im expecting

Germany
Leni
Conflict in Europe

its shit that i have 2 do both the world war ( especially considering cutting off my leg would be more fun den learning about ww1, seriously it is BORING) but i self chose Conflict in Europe i failed indochina in the trials, so i thort y not ill do my own, id already read Europe has anyone else switched topic btw?

 

[Lordie]

I'm so excited...I love Modern. <3

I'm expecting the Role of Women and Reasons for the stalemate for WWI.

Then for China(1927 - 1949), I'm not sure what they'll ask

Then Sun Yat-Sen - Not sure either

Then Indochina, not sure again.

I love how my topics all flow on from one another. It's very handy! (Well, apart from WWI...but hey, the China/Indochina ones work lovely together!!)

Good luck to all. Yeah, I'm in the same boat as some of you. Have Maths tomorrow. But hey, Modern is my best subject, with Maths being not so nice in comparison, heh.

 

[Alex499]

For WWI I really hope it's women as well. Or the role of the Big Three.
I'd kill myself if they asked a specific question on like... Verdun or Passchendaele like they did a couple of years ago.

I'm really hoping there's a question on the end of the Cold War. I love all the Reagan/Gorbachev shiznit. I hate the beginning of it.
Why am I talking about modern when I have maths tomorrow?

 

[imqt]

Btw Modern History does scale quite well

really? i always thought you have to get raw mark 90+ to get band 6

 

[inter108]

I need to blitz Russia.

 

[cem]

really? i always thought you have to get raw ma 90+ to get band 6

More like mid-80s (or it was when I was on the aligning panel and I don't see any reason for it to have changed much in the last couple of years since I stopped doing that side of things).

ALL modern marks are aligned up unless the raw mark was 100.

 

[HNAKXR]

Nelson Mandela
Conflict In Europe
South Africa - Apartheid
WW1

Woot

God I hope you're right...that would be sweeeeeeeet

 

[inter108]

Fuck modern.

 

[housah0lic]

i just can't
