    General Thoughts - Ancient History

    Sweet Jeezus are your wrists made from iron? how on earth do you write so much? The best I could manage for the 25 marker was 1000-1200 tops, and for the 15 marker we were all taught that 700-800 is the maximum that we should attempt under exam conditions. How one earth did you do that in 3 hours?

    Can we eat during our exams

    Bring eucalyptus and honey lollies (make sure the wrappers a clear) in a tupperware container. I put a croak in my voice and asked the supervisors and they said it was fine as soon as they checked them for any cheating material.

    Drop to Senior Science?

    We got no bacon, but I've done jackshit work and recieved a semester two mark of 93. If you have a half decent memory and common sense you'll do fine in this subject. Believe me when I say that a 90 in senior science is much more impressive than a 50 in chem, so if you marks fail to improve then...

    It was more of a scientific penis joke than a way of understanding.

    Biology PRACTICAL (eeeek!)

    I remember that one, I did horribly in it which was a bit of a shock. Write up notes summerising everything that you've done so far and lern the points including the scientific laguage. The part where I went wrong is in the theory componant. Always take time to read the question Carefully...

    Section III - Personalities

    same, all i could remember was the chersonnese campaign and the black sea expedition. I could remember about that revolt but I couldn't remember what the island was called :/ so I ended up tacking on two paragraphs about his role as stratagos and corcyra. That counts as military, right?

    Section II - Ancient Societies

    don't worry, lots of people at my school forgot about the ekklesia too, the marks on the report card go all the way down to 20 so in the grand scheme of things you'll be alright. Its only the hsc after all.

    Section II - Ancient Societies

    The 15 marker part really threw me off. I don't think I wrote enough for it, maybe 3-4 pages. I had a lot to talk about though so I think I did alright.

    Section IV - Historical Periods

    I did Greek world 500-440 and I chose the 2nd essay question on the league, it was almost exactly the same as a practice one I did and memorised. So i manage to gt 6 pages on it with lots of sources in next to no time at all.

    General Thoughts - Ancient History

    I so aced this, the only suprise to be found was part b of personalities because I had prepped for the evaluate dot points, but i think I'll scape up ten marks or so from it. All of the other questions seemed to magically align with the stuff I spent the most time studing. I'll get 80+ raw at...
