Lmao.

I've got French and Russian. They both meshed pretty well together (teacher gave us peek at American Rev 'while ago.... ermm ... interesting) but right now I feel like my heads about to sporatically combust. I keep forgetting dates in the French, and totally convinced I am going to go zonk on the exam.

Any one else in the same boat? What rev's everyone else studying?

You are not alone. I'm doing Russia and France too and I feel like no matter how much study I do I'm getting nowhere

[moshi]

i'm doing france and russia too!
and yes, i am freaking out about this exam - there's just so much you can put into one answer, and i'm afraid of not getting it all down when writing!
i hope it turns out okay.
i wonder what's going to be for russia section B, part A - for 2005 it was the 1905 revolution, then 2006 and 2007 were the february and october revolutions respectively

i did France in term 1 and ive completely forgotten it, i THINK ill be able to get France AOS1 happening again but i think ill have to make AOS2 the sacrificial lamb of the paper lol

there is sooo bloody much to know for France AOS2, its a joke!!

[melonsunday]

VCE History is a joke. They really need to have a mid-year for this subject; it would make it far easier to remember the content and enable students to really get an in-depth knowledge of each unit.

I can't seem to remember ANYTHING about AOS2 France and China AOS1 is pretty much a distant, foggy memory. So screwed. A C or C+ on the exam would be a welcome relief!!

[Blank Blank]

Melonsunday, after reading what you wrote about how far maoism strays away from traditional marxism, I highly doubt you'll get a C or C+ if you were to assimilate that under exam conditions. That was some pretty good stuff!

[sharie.apple]

Argh i'm full dead for this exam! I'm doing France and Russia, and i've got the whole "what happened" down...but i am totally lost when it comes to analysing and interpreting!!!

All the "high level responses" in the past exams are so complicated and i would never be able to write something like that!
Even the medium level answers seem so in depth too!

[Aurelie.]

Oh god, me. I've been trying to study for revs and I've completely neglected politics, which is tomorrow as well.. crap!!

I'm so freaking screwed for France its not funny! I feel so lost in it But I think I've got a pretty good handle on Russia.

So many people are doing France & Russia! It seems most are doing those two, Russia & China or France & American. I don't think I've heard of anyone studying the Chinese & French or Chinese & American??

Thats probably because France & America, France & Russia and Russia & China have similarities where as France & China and America & China arent really similar at all

If it helps, remember how many duds there will be also doing the exam, myself included.

I somewhat gave up on History this year, designated it as my 5th subject and subsequently I haven't looked at my text books in two months.

French and Russia, blaaaah. I only averaged about 80% on my SAC's this year, so it was never going to be great. History was so much more engaging in Year 11.

[moshi]

a student who averages 80% on sacs can hardly be labelled a 'dud'!
depends on what school you go, but still, it's a fairly decent average (:
anyway, good luck for tomorrow everyone!

[Tysonn]

Haaaah, thank you, but it really was all just selective knowledge. Having an idea on the subject of the SAC allowed for extensive study/cramming on that topic, but if any of them were completely unseen tasks, I would've been up struggle street.

But, oh well, good luck to all.

For Section A, Part 1 i'm predicting that they will ask us how a movement contributed to the development of a revolutionary situation. Following the trend of difficult exams this year, it seems like a reliable prediction - they have only ever asked for ideas, leaders and events - never have they asked for the contribution of the movement or various movements in the development of a revolution.
