Well yeah it's pretty easy but the amount of stuff you have to remember is just crazy, that's where the scaling comes in. Well then ok you win this time. Our top mark was 86 unscaled. Our raw average was around about 63 - 65. You'll do fine, since you're topping the subject you should...

Lawless isn't a textbook source and IS a secondary source becuase there's a personal opinion evident.

Ok what was the top mark in your trials? What was the average? Lower than 63 1/2?

Concur. EDIT: Just thinking about it, you can add frontier policy. But basically you NEED TO ADD EVERYTHING in this essay.

*Sigh* I'll make it straight then: BRADLEY IS NOT QUOTABLE BECAUSE SHE'S A TEXTBOOK WRITER, THE EXAMINERS EXPECT OTHER NON-TEXTBOOK SOURCES. MIC EXPLAINED THIS BEFORE. There.

Sounds just like mine as well :) O hell yeah Read the whole thing, you'll need ALL of it. Cassius Dio's Roman History is another you'll need to read up on for the ancients.

I really wish you to help support you but mine is great, there was even an incident with her and a few pretty smashed students, but we'll leave it there. My teacher's cool AND SHE TEACHES WELL. All i can say to both of you and to who have absolutely shit teachers is that work from now till...

Even still, still means you've just scraped in. It's pushing it. Yami: I hope yuo achieve your goal and best of luck :)

You could say that they're using those notes just like eco essays-comparing them and ranking them and THEN taking the best and using them. Lazy lazy teacher...sounds alot like me though...

Don't use bradley whatsoever, even if it's her own opinion. It's better off finding another modern historian and using them. Mick_et basically summed up why.

It's best if you didn't quote from Bradley in any form. Sorry i can't answer your question though, been trying to think of some but it isn't comming to my head.

Go through all the ancients, you need to know them back to front, then find some modern historians like R Symes and read what they say about the ancients. Then you gain info about both and you can use them to compare/contrast/whatever you want to do in an essay.

I guess, but what i'm trying to get is that it's not THAT simple. Yeah. What school do you go to?

True, but i still think that it requires you to have a vastly extensive knowledge about your personality/society/historical period not just by reading different authors.

I'll put it to you in brief terms: Ambition: Learnt from mother her family was to rule the Empire. Attempted to achieve this by two ways, 1) marry the emperor and 2) get her son, Nero, to be heir. Achieved both. Influence: Before her marriage to Claudius, you could say she had influence on...

It's hard to be the top though, you need to know so much more than what the course requires you to.

I'm doing all of your topics but i still haven't finished Agrippina just yet but you're definately not alone. A majority of the students who do ancient actually do at least one topic on Rome. So there's bound to be someone who does at least one topic on Rome that's the same as yours.

I still haven't finished my personality. Our trial still had our personality even though we hadn't had a detailed look. It doesn't mean anything if it's late. I reckon it's more of an advantage since this new info should be quite fresh in our minds since we've only just learnt it.

That's a HELL of alot of people in one grade. My class is 12. Harimau: How many people in your class got band 6 in their trial?

As long as you can nail the HSC it doesn't matter what mark you get in the trial. I'd like to help but you're not doing the Empire. MicK_eT: Pretty good marks, quite impressive. Maybe you should concentrate on your writing by trying to make one line say multiple lines. That or try and...
