From what I understand, your teachers enter the top two projects (or the whole class' essays for my case since we only have 6 people) whether you like it or not. So I'm pretty damn sure malayz_angel that your project has already been sent off. You were supposed to sign a form saying that your...

I got a 34.1 out of 40, hitting second in my class of 6 (First was 37.5). Although I don't understand why my teacher had to use decimals, though.

Trust me, if you win the cash is YOURS. I know that much, as my teacher told me. I don't know if your school gets something as well though. Although the total prize is in the thousands, it has to be split up between the winners (And I saw at least 6 on the HTA winners sheet). So unless I'm...

The three histories I do have influenced me to take up history courses at University. I really want to get into that Anicent History honours at Macquarie...

I do 6 hours a day. That's about 3 subjects a day, with 2 hours allocated to each subject. Between subjects, I give myself a 1 hour break and it's doing me wonders. I study at home and at Blacktown Library.

I am pretty sure the prize is in the thousands of dollars, but I'm not sure how the cash is distributed among the winners.

As a general, you really can't fault Alexander. 11 years without losing one battle, that's pretty damn good. As a leader and administrator, well that's up for debate, depending on the historians you use. I personally think Alexander had the potential to become a DECENT administrator, but he bit...

Man, me and my friends wanted to do burn outs on the oval, but I think that woud be going a little too far...

Damn, you guys wrong us AzNs. We're not all studying freaks that pull the best UAIs. It all depends on the person. It's just that many asians go hard out when it comes to education, something anyone of any race can do.

I haven't got my project back yet, but there's no way I could have gotten high marks as I kinda rushed my log book. But I gotta pass at least, 'cause I went crazy on the assignment.

I messed up my exams. I did the CSSA trials with Crusades as my case study, and I pulled a 39/50. That sucks bad, I am going to go hard out studying for my HSC...

Not bad...I know my historians + historiography so question 1 is all good. I memorised my case study (Crusades) by heart, so question 2 is ready to go. In other words, I am coping very well but I still feel kinda nervous. You?

Yes, I was thinking along the lines of that. I'm one of the few people in my year that actually read HP, all the other year 12s seem to think I'm some kind of loser. Ignorant fools...

I like Order of the Phoenix best, and Prisoner of Azkaban second. You get most of the storyline from these two books. Worst is probably Philosopher' Stone, but then again it's only the first book of the series...

What do markers expect? That you answer your question. That's all there is to it. As long as you answer your question, and provide historians to back up your arguement, then it's all good. Read you outcomes that come with your project, and apply them in your essay. That is what I did, and I...

Ouch...I thought 26 footnotes was a lot for a 2900 word essay...

I motivate myself by threatening myself with what would happen if I did not do good in my HSC. That usually gets me going for another two hours of study.

Fun? HELL YEAH!!! I LOVE IT!!! Actually, you should only do Extension History if you genuinely like history. It focuses on historiography, the history of history. In other words, you are looking at the reason why history has been recorded, using your case study as a base. Extension history is...

It's pretty good, I used to love going on KOC and attacking all my friends but during my absence from it during the trials my liking of it has. I think I got about 1500 men now... WHAT?! Age 2 has arrived?!?! Rats, there goes all my weapons, soldiers, gold... If you liked KOC, you should...

School Related: The Book of 5 Rings by Miyamoto Musashi (translated). This seriously helped my Extension History Project and my kendo skills. I give it 8/10, it's only good if you like Japanese history. Non-School: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, by J.K Rowling. I don't care what...
