Well I wouldn't necessarily quit once uni restarted, but yeah I probably won't bother anyway.

My situation is as follows. I am at uni 5 days a week, constantly busy in terms of studying etc. However, at the moment I am on holidays with about 3 weeks remaining with absolutely nothing to do. Would it be worth applying for a job now considering the fact that a best case scenario would be...

I thought the exam was alright. Definitely harder than trials though. I thought the multichoice was hard for some reason. For the option topic I reckon I got full marks.

Exactly my point, look at the exemplary samples and they use a few quotes, but are used well. Byt the band 5/6 responses usually don't have any. http://arc.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/standards-packs/SP06_15270/go/2006/modern-history/exemplary-samples/section-ii/question-12b/sample/index.html

Actually I thought it was good for mine - Douglas MacArthur. Initially I was a bit...ARRRGH but then I thought about it and I pulled it off quite well. Did about 5.5 pages for that part.

Can you quote that ? LOL My teacher marks the HSC and she said that quotes generally don't make too much difference. By that I mean historians mainly.

Hmmm, I think i might get...103 give or take 2 marks :rofl: Nah like mid 60's, despite my 22 pages.

Can they ask a standalone Question like the political, strategic reasons for bombing pearly harbour ? Because i dont think there is enough info ??

Are you serious ? I did about 5.5 pages and I got 24/25 in trials for one of my essays. How many words do you mean though ? My essay was pushing 1400 words I think.

Well technically they can ask us on either 'Collaboration and Resistance' and 'The use of slave labour' individually can't they? Also, which key feature and issue is 'the impact of the fall of the phillipines,...' go under?

Well it says 'collaboration and resistance, the use of slave labour' so i guess you could talk about something like the Burma Railway?? But how does that link to a possible question? The key feature says 'impact of war on occupied territories' so that seems straight forward. However, detail...

Nationalism and Imperialism - because it hasn't been asked for about 4 years. As well as something on Civilians at War whether it's home front or collaboration. Whats the possibility of an Abomb or Allied Occupation question ?

How long should each section be ? Because i think i could almost write a booklet just on the evaluation. But we've only got about 20 or 25mins maximum. So is 2 pages (8 words/line) enough ?

Changing the topic a bit, how hard is it to get say....above a 38 in this subject ? Because I got 36 for trials but i don't think ill get that in the HSC because of all the high range competition :( In terms of essay construction and a thesis, should we be looking for what OUR interpretation is...

Should we have a thesis for essay one ? Or will that restrict us because of the source ? Also, it would be helpful i think if people could please mention some possible arguments that may be integrated into the source e.g. history being constructed. With regards to those arguments, because some...
