stoked. beyond. belief.

JustAnotherDamo · 3 Nov 2009, 1:24 PM

Apologies for breaking the protocol but while we're waiting, from my perspective it seemed like quite a fair exam paper. My questions were based on fairly broad aspects of the syallbus (Germany, Conflict in Indochina and Ho Chi Minh)

For all my euphoria in being slightly confident in WWI, Conflict in Indochina and Ho Chi Minh, I'm really quite disappointed with my performance in Germany. The Poisonous Mushroom has another reason for being notorious in my heart. I think the Germany cohort would generally be happy though?

Regardless, congratulations - you have completed the gargantuan necessities of Modern History!~ =D

I hope you did as excellent as you aspired for and I'm interested to see how other sections were?

I think i killed that exam

F M L · 3 Nov 2009, 1:29 PM

Yeah it was pretty awesome, my best exam probably

KnifeySpoony · 3 Nov 2009, 1:31 PM

Pretty good, EXCEPTT
i completely forgot about china for the cold war in question A, only mentioned a paragraph of it towrads the end :|

JustAnotherDamo · 3 Nov 2009, 1:32 PM

I think you certainly deserved to go Crimes Act 1900 Part 3 Division 1 on that exam Miss Anna!~ =P

I think it should become a goal to appropriate some covert Legal Studies reference into every topic. But regardless, the general consensus seemed to be that many people liked the questions related to the personality - an amalgamation of historical context and the role of a personality.

I thought it was easy and relatively straight forward. Particularly since the questions in indochina and Germany came up
In our trial( grammar)

BeRad · 3 Nov 2009, 1:33 PM

WW1 was amazing.
Germany was good, but I don't know if my essay structure was the best. I did question a) weakness in weimar-which was epic cos it was my best part.
Leni- easy. probably the best questions I could've hoped for.
Conflict in the Pacific was amazing. Japanese nationalism for bombing pearl harbor

loved it.

8-9-9 in quite small handwriting 10 words per line.

IT'S OVER!

Any ideas what the bands will be like?

Luffy91 · 3 Nov 2009, 1:36 PM

That exam killed me.

Cinnamonster · 3 Nov 2009, 1:43 PM

And I thought the Music 1 paper was good.
Brilliant paper.
I can't believe my luck.

WW1 - Uh yeah pretty much studied for women and reasons for stalemate. Heaps good.
Germany - questions were good. I did Weimar/rise to Nazi power question and I'm more than happy with what I wrote.
Leni Riefenstahl - questions were fair but I just didn't manage my time well. I blame myself, not the questions. What I did write was good though.
Conflict in the Pacific - um... YAY! I had decided that they were either going to ask about Pearl Harbour or ask about the A-bomb. They asked both. I had trouble deciding which question to pick, haha. Ended up going with the A-bomb question.

Overall, very pleased with this paper.

Haha don't worry. I was short on time too because i went on too much about the conferences so i tagged the Marshall plan onto the Truman Doctrine in 2 sentences... ah well it should read well anyway ^^

That's good to hear

silverpen · 3 Nov 2009, 1:45 PM

Loved it!

Personality question was sick and thought germany was really good

Indochina was aaalright ..I did the second one on anti war movements. Just sorta manipulated it a bit to aspect that led to the anti war movements and thendid war movements

Pretty happy though

My timing was amazing...got heaps of time for writing and planning most things

And core was good

penguin.ali · 3 Nov 2009, 1:48 PM

Whooo! I loved that exam, it was just a case of state the obvious with the Russia question... How did they consolidate their power? Well, let me tell you...
Considering how worried I was about the exam I am really happy.

Overall, I felt really good in the exam, there were no nasty surprises apart from the dude behind me jiggling his leg so hard that the ground under me moved =s

21 pages in all =]
