You put everything in that... EVERYTHING! Military reforms, senatorial role adjustments, propaganda, frontier policy, equestrian class, moral codes of conduct (to which not even his family could adhere), and everything else you know - tax, that's another one.

Al-fucking-right! Somebody tell me the answer to this... Are we supposed to know bloody productions, or interpretations? As far as interpretations go, I could talk or days about a feminist reading, or a nihilist reading, or a Marxist one, but productions are SHIT! Sure, I have a bunch...

Your Maths is good, but what happened to English? I'd say about 80s - somewhere in the 80s that is... but what the hell do I know? Nothing, that's what, just my own predicted (and it was bloody awesome!)

Historiography... You guys are having a panic over historiography? Don't panic, seriously. All it is are a few quotes from different historians. Now, I was lucky in that my teachers for all histories gave me enough sources and quotes and viewpoints to... well, there were a lot. But, if you...

How do you do a post on Maths? It's Maths... the 2002 paper was easy compared to my school's Trial (but it's renowned for having soem of the hardest internal assessments in the state...) 2003 won't be hard if you just do heaps of past papers from over the last 5-10 years and soem from...

I HATE THIS DAMN UNIT - IT SUCKS!!! But it was the only way I could do Ext. 2 Eng. - and that was no great thing either...

Don't worry about the medium - if your doing B-DAY, use Plath, or Keats (he's better), and then throw in a filmlike "Pleasantville" or "Fight Club".

Hahaha - "The Door" (well, I'm using that text from the booklet)... Yeah, well "Pleasantville" is good, as is "Fight Club", as is "La Belle Dame" (Keats poem). That's it, what else do I need?

OK, my answer to the post query... They can really only ask you to compare the two texts in reference to their explorations of human nature and the natural world (and in such, you will cover different values associated with the contexts)... You MUST refer to context (try to integrate it)...

OK, if you're doing Ted Hughes, like I am, then for the relted text crap, I'm using: - Sylvia Plath - it's a set text, but not for me it isn't, so technically I can use it (maybe the poem "Daddy" or something - I don't like her much anyway) - Keats - must use Keats, it's perfect - "Ode to a...

OK, because I couldn't be bothered reading all the posts, I'll just say what I think. There really is only one question that they will ask you on "King Lear", and that will go along the line of assessing different productions and interpretations of the play with reference to critics and all...

OK, E.H. Carr is pretty good, but if you're not in the mood to fish out information, then read Warren. It's only the best book that covers the whole damn course. It goes through ancient historians, through the middle ages, Karl Marx, Postmodernissm, and even Carr himself. Read it -...

Why didn't anyone reply to this post? That's just unfair... Well, I got 94% for the exam, and 98% for the MW, and I came 3rd in the exam, and 1st overall in my school for the subject. OK...

39/40 - 3rd highest mark (got 49/50 for the unit - equal 1st) Did mine on the Cyprus Problem (because I'm Cypriot...) Hmm...

In all honesty (and this will sound arrogant, and wel... it is...) Ext. Hist. is one of the easiest subjects out there. Once the damned MW is done (39/40, oh yeah! - 3rd) all you need to know is half-a-dozen historians and historical movements (best ones being Herodotus, Thucydides, Marxist...
