    Estimated Marks

    Can I be the first to say...

    Thanks for coming. Nah well thats overconfidence. The Q on the Building Healthy Public Policy had me stumped for a while!! It didnt actually say that it had to be in effect did it? Like, could you have said for Cancer that banning smoking would be an example? I said for Injury some...

    The great rhetra..what exactly is it?

    Yeah if not too late just to add to this, the Great Rhetra was the system of Government, created by Lycurgus. Its primary purpose was a militaristic Spartan society, highly geared to war. However, keep in mind that it was a gradual process, and that Sparta didn't become a militaristic state...

    anyone else SCREWEDDD for HSC EXAM ancient history?

    Agreed, Ancient is sooo hard to cram. Its one of not many subjects in which I've actually paid alot of attention in class, so that makes it slightly easier. In no way do I wish it were like maths though!! Lets just hope they ask an essay question on the Hyksos, Hatshepsut question on...
