    I need some help with New Kingdom Egypt!

    I'm very interested ... Where can I find it? I'm much the same with regards to Egyptian Imperialism, I have to say thats my weakest point of the entire Ancient History course. Fingers crossed that there is nothing on it in the exam.

    Hatshepsut discussion

    Re: hatchepsut - 'evil stepmother' I'm not dismissing it, nor am I in denial that this "co-regency" ever occurred. I was just questioning the implications of what defines a "co-regency," hence the use of inverted commas. Thutmosid III still maintained some control, although not to the same...

    the "have a winge" thread

    He just made more sense than anything sam has made. Sam, if you hate the subject so much, hows about you stay on your beloved modern history forum, and start posts about how great it is, and that we should all rejoice in the acts of Hitler, Mussolini, etc. And like Pwar said, nobody really...

    Does Anyone Have Any Mycenea Help Or Study Notes?

    EDIT: Sorry, I thought I was still in the Egypt Forum.

    Trial Marks

    How did everyone go in the Trials for Ancient History? I'd be especially interested to hear how some people went for the Catholic Trials (I'm at a public school). I tried the Catholic paper, and found it very difficult. Anyways I got 85% Raw. That was 2nd in the class. How about YOU?

    Hatshepsut discussion

    Re: The burning question. That was the question? Did he hate his step mother [Hatshepsut]? Seems a generalised sort of statement. I'm inclined to think, due to the fact that he had 20 years in which to overthrow his step mother, and opted not to, that he didnt strictly hate her. Yet he must...

    Hatshepsut discussion

    Re: hatchepsut - 'evil stepmother' This coming from Mr 70% in his trials, eh Cohen?? :) Lets not forget the theory that it was actually Akenhaten who defaced Hatshepsuts monuments, in an attempt to promote his new god, and remove all traces of Amun. Because Hatshepsut was so closely linked...

    Yeah New Kingdom Egypt was my worst section in the Trials ... I got 19, and just felt I ran out of ideas, and repeated myself. But back to the topic at hand ... Our teacher tells us that for a 5 mark question, you should try and write 1 book page, as a basic guideline. 20 pages in 3...

    what RAW mark do you need for a band 6 in ANCIENT??

    Agreed. Worry about it AFTER the exam. However, completely contradicting my previous statement, I've heard that Ancient History actually scales well. Someone said it scales down, I haven't heard that before. Its a very content ladened course. Don't worry about all the scaling etc; aim for...

    the "have a winge" thread

    Then gtfo and go to Modern History Forums? Ancient History is VERY interesting, compared to the drabness of Modern. Its the best subject I'm doing; the most interesting, and as far as saying it is "moronic" to study it, keep your misjudged and misguided opinions to yourself. Ancient...

    Difficult?

    Yet you can't manage to type or spell very well? Thats all the qualifications of a doctor, not a businessman. Joking joking =] I don't know how you managed to find it easy though. I thought it was harder than all previous HSC Business Studies Papers. My assessment mark was around 85, and I'm...

    So using the materials here, how did you do.

    I tried not to look too much, just made me depressed. From that like Mid 60s. I'm only aiming for the State Average in Maths, so hopefully that is OK.

    QUESTION 25?? what was that?

    I almost did EXACTLY the same. I wrote "Pick one red jellybean out of a jar of 4 jellybeans, in which 3 are red and one is black." What I SHOULD have written was: "Probability of me failing this maths test: 3/4"

    Hmm, I suck at maths..

    Marks in Trials

    I'd kill for 78% lol. According to SAM, if my Maths mark increases 10%, from 65 - 75, my UAI increases 5%. This seems huuuge.

    One Day ... I'm a Goner...

    In Year 11, I was in the top 10% in Gen Maths in our school. Now I'm in about the 35th percentile. My internal mark was around about 60%, compared to 80+% in Year 11. There are several branches of the Maths that I don't understand. Our teacher has been terrible ... She refused to give me any...

    was there ratios?

    And I'm pretty sure its just CA/CL - probably much the same in the end.

    was there ratios?

    Lol ... What if you wrote CA/CL, then crossed it out (one line) and wrote some fictionary ratio? Do the markers disregard it, or do they still take it into account?

    Crap at maths?

    Jonny ... You're an idiot. You're not funny, and you probs need to get a life, instead of trying to be a wisecrack on a student HSC Forum. Anyways SGJA, I am the same. I can handle the concepts of "harder" subjects, but just CAN NOT understand General Maths for some reason.
