Although, if you like the topics, it's easier to remember all the content. It helps to have an enthusiastic teacher, like my Ancient one... the way she says things makes it easier to remember them even without studying.

I thought that too, there seems to be so much more rote learning and less of a focus on conceptual understanding. Hope I'm wrong though.

I don't think you're wrong.
I flicked through the syllabus and saw a crapload of environmental/ethical stuff.Kurosaki

Well doesnt physics have a whole module on rote learning society impact stuff?
What's so bullshit is that you have to learn the entire syllabus for, for example, Germany in Modern History, to have to write only one 25 mark essay in the HSC. Doesn't seem like an adequate test of one's abilities or knowledge.

Modern you don't wrote the syllabus though-you don't need to know every fact.
Some of you have been posting for ages and are on this thread in yr 12 and naw I'm sentimental. Like SuchSmallHands, Kurosaki, BLIT2014, deloving, rumbleroar and people like Fawun/Demento that don't post anymore-I'm cheering y'all all on.
Cheers.
Good luck everybody. About 39 weeks of school left, no?
Anyone stressing already? 'cause I'm so relaxed it's not even funny, when I see people stressing or being all serious I just laugh.
