Modern, ahh the old days of year 11 Modern history. I am the freak in school that does Ancient, Modern and Extension. In my opinion, Ancient is WAAAAAY better than Modern, but that's just me.

My trials weren't too good, either. I absolutely bummed out in 2 unit Maths, and in Advanced English I barely scraped a pass. In my other subjects I have gotten a 75% average, which I think is kinda hopeless. I plan on working hard on my hsc and getting at least a band 5 for all my subjects...

With the major project, you simply do whatever the hell you want. Write 2500 words on a subject, include a synopsis, an examination of 3 sources you used and a bibliography and you got yourself the major project. This major project is the only non-exam assessment task you get and from my...

I did the CSSA trials and I only got 74%. I came second in the form (highest mark was 79%)

Don't abuse them, but you have to use them. It helps keeping your essay within the word limit. A good guide would be 3 or 4 footnotes a page, I think. It depends on how much writing you have on the page. As long as your footnotes are relevant, however, then your teacher can't really criticize you...

The Good Points Interesting areas of study (I am sick to death of doing world war 1) The exams are predictable. As long as you know your historiography, and two areas of debate in your area of study, you're all set. The Bad Stuff: Too much emphasis on historians Can get boring at...

Neither have I...and I was thinking that since it's only a 2 hour exam, and there are only 6 people in my class that my teacher so sure taking her time to mark our exams...

73%, I came second in the class. The person who got first got 84%. I need to sutdy some more. Damn you Cameron Baker!!!

I use Windows XP Proffessional at home. Good thing I managed to patch my computer before that damn Blaster Worm hit my computer...At school our computers have Mac OSX. They're pretty easy to use, but I'm more accustomed to my Windows XP.

Let me see...the State Library in St James (Sydney) has just about everything. Try that out. Oh, and if you want a good project, you gotta footnote like hell. That's what my Extension History teacher said. My 3000 word project (not including synopsis or bibliography) has 26 footnotes in it.

But hey, if you win...big cash prize! That's a good thing...

Yeah, I still go to school everyday. But then again, I have a perfect record. From Year 7-12, I have had no absences or late notes. I'm such a good little boy...

Don't worry. You can make up your marks in the proper HSC exam. Just look at what you did wrong, and improve from there.

With the HTA prize, our teacher is sending our entire class' major projects in, regardless of mark. But then again, there's only 6 people in our extension history class...

I can help you out with Extension History, as I've already done it

I did the CSSA trials...and I sucked. Big time. It will be an act of God if I got 50%...

I want at least an 80 UAI, but I'll be really happy if I get 90 or above. Slim chance of that happening though.

I think many of the modules of English are kind of messed up. I mean, speeches is good when you are doing an assessment task on them but an exam is a whole new ball game. I had to remember all the speeches in my damn booklet because our teacher hinted that one of them would be featured in the...

I did my CSSA Extension History trials yesterday, and I suppose I didn't too bad. I did 3 pages for each of the two questions (but my handwriting is tiny so it's all good). The historiagraphy question was ok, but the sources they provided were crap. And the area of study was easy enough (our...

I loved my Ancient exam, it was pretty easy. I think I didn't do too good on one question though (the water systems question worth 5 marks, in Society: Rome from Augustus to Titus). I did the CSSA trial, my sections were: 1) Personality: Alexander the Great 2) Society: Rome from Augustus to...
