Could someone please estimate what UAI I would get from the HSC results I just pulled from the Board of Studies website: Ancient History: 83 Band 5 English Advanced: 76 Band 4 Information Process and Technology: 81 Band 5 Mathematics 2 unit 59: Band 2 Modern History: 82 Band 5 History...

Ancient History: 83 Band 5 English Advanced: 76 Band 4 Information Process and Technology: 81 Band 5 Mathematics 2 unit 59: Band 2 Modern History: 82 Band 5 History Extension: 41 Band E3 Studies of Religion 1 unit: 41 Band 5 Can anyone tell me if this is any good, and what UAI I *might*...

We HAD a common room. It was one big room with 3 sets of sofas, a tv, tables+chairs, fridge, microwave, ping-pong table, dart board and board games like chess. However, our common room was closed down permanently when some fool trashed the place, around September this year.

After my 1 unit Religion exam, I have a week until Extension History. I'm spending 3 days on Historiagraphy (Thucydides, Gibbon, Carr, Summers and Marx) and another 3 days on my case study (Crusades: motivations and aims & actions-I will be using Steven Runciman, Malouf, Nicetas Choniates, the...

No more Ancient History (Good thing). Now have to prepare for Modern and Extension History (Bad thing)

If you're talking about Greek World 500-440 BC, I (and probably most of my class) did the 'Naval Power' question (section IV)

My writing is tiny...about 11 words a line. Alexander the Great: 4 pages Roman Society from Augustus to Titus: I filled out all the lines of parts c and d, question e went for 4/5 the way Augustus and the Julio-Claudians: 4 pages Greek world 500-440 BC: 4 pages I was on a four...

I blitzed the Ancient History, I hope my Modern and Extension History exams are just as easy.

It's not going to be Lincoln, as that was last year's speech they specified. I hope this year the choice will be open. I come to that conclusion because there's a pattern. 2001: Open choice (teacher told me) 2002: Lincoln 2003: ???

I messed up this section. My content was good as I knew my stuff, but the problem was that you needed top do it in speech form. I didn't. I did it in essay form *slaps forehead in stupidity* I hope the markers don't take off too many marks, I mean my essay does kinda sound like a speech.

The second paper is going to waste me, there's no way I could remember all the stuff for the exam. I am doing speeches, transformations and telling the truth.

I have very small writing, so I'm proud of what I managed to pull off: Section 1: 3 pages Section 2: 3 pages Section 3: 5 pages

Ohhh....tsk tsk tsk. I thought you were better than that *shakes head* Well, now I have a bit more of a chance to win the prize...

I envy you, Whitey. But I thought that X-History, as a one unit subject, is marked out of 50? Unless you mean that your school gets at least 45/50 for HSC (90% equivalent). I apologise for my comment on last year's HTA prizewinners being a joke. I said it wrong (stupid me). What I meant to...
