Candy, you're amazing and you will do so well at whichever uni you go to. It won't matter too much. Personally, I vote USYD, because it'll be much easier to go through uni without money stresses and you can focus on your study and getting involved in uni life, which is the important thing. But...

I found Q1 to be quite tricky simply because of the historians I'd studied - very few postmodernists, and I knew NOTHING about the History Wars - I did a lot of work on ancient historians instead, so translating the question was quite difficult. Hopefully it turns out alright in the end. In...

My teachers are putting in a complaint about that question to the Board -- hopefully it'll be worked out for all of us. It's putting us Caesar kids at a severe disadvantage compared to the rest of the state, because I seriously don't know how you could feasibly earn 10 marks in that question.

For US, I'm picking industrialisation, also conservatism, and their effects on causing the Great Depression/in affecting attempts to fight the depression, and also foreign policy.

This was a fairly terrible part A for Caesar. I only wrote 2 pages about Asia, Spain and Brutus/Lepidus revolt - pretty annoyed they asked this of us! Hopefully it will be moderated, I can't imagine people did very well for this.

Wow, I'm interested that you found the listening easy! I must say, I found it quite challenging - the hardest of all the sections. The tape went very quickly, much quicker than I'm used to, and I just wasn't able to catch the details! Hopefully it doesn't affect my marks too much...

:) Thank you lovely. And you weren't at trivia night last night!!! Depressing!

Thanks all. Yes, I do think it's really difficult to predict for me, because quite a few of my subjects have such small cohorts. And by the by, my school's estimate was 98.35.

Okay so I got an ATAR estimate from school, but the consensus is, even amongst my teachers/deputy principal/careers advisor that the mark was quite unrepresentative of my ability, because my small-cohort subjects weren't scaled correctly. So I come to BoS :) School rank (2010): 2 Subject ||...

Hope everyone's projects are coming along well! I didn't quite realise when I started my major work just how much research this would require! It takes both a lot of research and quite a bit of creativity to do a speech, so it's rather a difficult form to undertake. So if anyone else is doing...
