most of them - World War I & its Aftermath Germany Russia-USSR China USA The Cold War Arab-Israel Conflict Conflict in Indochina Conflict in the Pacific + sample exam questions

hate to break it to you sif, but we did the CSSA trials (mostly) and so we did them the same as all over the state.... .'. they can't be "harder", although most of the CSSA (eg. maths) are generally seen as "harder" than the HSCs - but that is all relative to the amount of study u've put in...

sif: i agree, its just your views (which appear quite outspoken at normo) are identical to those of my dad's

OK i want to do BCom (Marketing) or BBus (Marketing) @ either USyd or UTS and I am stumped as to which one to choose. I also want to go an arts component and go on exchange, so there is more to my decision than yours, but my advice is go to the open days! UAC preferences aren't due in...

hey, dun bag out UTS - the only uni in syd that will pay me to go on exchange whilst I am doing a biz degree unsw's entrance uai's should go down cuz fee-paying's been abolished so .'. less people attempting to get in (well thats the idea...)

wtf!!!!! how can a teacher teach both at the same time!!!! I mean I can see history and geography cuz they tie in in the HSIE stage 5 syllabus' but c'mon how can one person be good at eco and history (teaching wise!) well I guess you've already pointed out that she's crap @ modern - how is...

skAnDi: So very true.... Modern is large, no matter how much u say Sif, I'm sorry but comparing it to Ancient doesn't make matters any easier I found the best way to deal with it is to compartmentalise every section of the syllabus into sections. ie. WW1: u have total war (which covers...

Halba: It doesn't have to be a "normal" historian, for example you could say "Thucydides agreed with Herodotus' view on objectivity in history for he incorporated many of his ideas on objectivity into his historical writings" So you can incorporate name-dropping as well as knowledge of both...

Malachite: I agree, except I still can't belive you watch that Mutant X shit!!! My god its the poorest show on TV!!!! ...and poo_poo - some ppl don't watch dark angel for the plots you know :) Sif: How could you write about your case study for 95%!? For a start I would have found it...

Re: cold war?? hmm...thats not good at all, We've (Sif and I) have a mad teacher ('cept for all the shouting) who knows the syllabus backwards. For cold war the old and new syllabuses aren't that different (not that I know of anyway), except the dates really - just remember that the new...

Halba: The question almost always asks for THREE historians, so know 3 really well, and then some to either support/contradict their view, and some that wrote around their time to name-drop. Sif: As if you wrote about half of them in your essay, you just listed every historian we studied!

That was a nice exam.... some of the extended responses were a bit dodgy, but the short answers and mult choice were great.... thank god its all over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK...what the fudge is "post-rock"??? The other two are ok, but I think we are getting all obsessed over genre titles here (a la dance music)...

That depends on how much study u've done...but it should be ok if you know your work (well duh!)

okay...my study music JJJ on monday nights (Groove Train = chillout, jazz) george instrumental music Jay Chou (as its in Mandarin and I can't understand it - so it doesn't distract me) or (mostly) no music at all. maths is the only subject that I can remain focused on with music on...

It depends on the subject as to whether you choose it for scaling or not. ie. 4u maths - yes a lot of ppl do it for the scaling, and many do it even though they probably shouldn't (and it negatively affects their other subjects) because they believe that it will magically raise ALL their...

Why do you guys get a "special" lecture??!?! What makes you so special huh?? :) If anyone does make a t-shirt with his face on it, I'd love to see his response! I wonder if he knows he has this fan club of HSC eco students???

Yeah I agree its convenient, but I've got Sydney Uni's timetable and I want to go to lectures at 10-11:30 and then 2 to 4 I doubt UTS will magically sort all their arts and busienss lectures into that middle 2.5hrs, but then again I can't find out because they are lazy and haven't posted a...

Sounds mad, keep us informed pls. Livid = a music festival, like big day out You're excused for not knowing what it is cuz usually its only held in the RNA Showgrounds in Brisbane, however this year its coming to sydney and melbourne. Bands incl are: powderfiner, oasis, george...

Well I'm planning on USYD: Arts/Commerce or UTS(!): Bus/International Studies. Majors: Marketing and a language (Mandarin/French) Anyone got any ideas??? Which uni is best for exchange?? Sorry but UNSW is out cuz its too far to go - the bus trip would just piss me off. Pity the...
