Everyone writes at different speeds. It's important to get a feel of your own speed early on, practice copying out a passage in 45minutes, then count and see how many pages you wrote. If you wrote 4 pages, then for the exam you should be planning to write about 3 1/2 page, the extra time for...

Great post from Aplus. Just an extra note for the English fanatics. Don't worry too much about your "language techniques" and wording, as long as it all makes sense and is coherent that's fine. I'm constantly surprised when my students ask me if they should write history the way they write...

When you are studying for history, don't think it's all about remembering the numbers. In fact, the numbers and date should have very little role to play in your response. The markers are looking for your ANALYSIS and INTERPRETATION, rather then looking if you can recite a bunch of given...

Assess means "judgement"; a normative answer is required. First you would need to KNOW what they did, and thus DESCRIBE, then the CRUCIAL part is to judge whether they were SIGNIFICANT, USEFUL and/or Changes/Legacy of individual on the Triumvirate. You would also need some knowledge of what...

This guy is good =)

Lyn Macdonald's books are the BEST interms of Soldier's perspective/experience. If you have time, reading primary sources are of course the most effective way.

Whilst I agree that a primary source analysis as MW core would be difficult; it would also offer a different spin to it; Assuming that journalists (if it's modern source) are referred as contemporary historians; the same historiographical process can be applied. Of course, different...

When you are at this stage, it's always fun to think you are KING and can do everything; but as you start researching in DEPTH you realise theres a LOT, and when you actually start writing/drafting your essay, you will soon realise it's unmanageable. It is MUCH BETTER to focus on ONE TINY topic...

For the 2006 HSC exam, it was the first time with the revised Ancient History exam; and I remember the teacher STRESSING that ETHICS AND MORALS would play a major part in the exam. And if I recall correctly, indeed it was. It is important to remember even if the question doesn't specifically...

An excellent, albeit cliche, idea that has been done many times. This has one main advantage, and one disadvantage. The disadvantage is that the marker will be used to seeing papers like yours, and thus you must either do EXTRORDINARILY WELL, or have a very radical and strong argument in yours...

An interesting thing to consider when doing appeasement is the SOCIAL BACKGROUND and political context of the Munich appeasement. I see too many students arguing 'the Allies were cowards, lacked initiative and thus weakened and exposed themselves to the impending Nazi tide.' Yes, they did lack...
