I HEAR YOU. I am SO happy that fuck of a course is over!! NEVER AGAIN will we have to study databases and the ethics of transaction processing...XD

+1 That's what I did, but for Gorbachev. Took 'personal background' as early life as well. Q didn't necessitate a trot-through of whole life. For Gorbs I placed the events of his early life into the historical context of Stalinism and discussed how the events were affected by the oppressive...

haah, good work bos.

Fucking ipt that's all i have to say. oh and eat something.

If the Q wanted that, it would have asked for it. It was not explicitly stated. Refer to the syllabus: it is divided into 4 components; personal background, historical context, rise to prominence and evaluation. Last year they asked for rise to prominence, I think. Each year the focus shifts...

I wouldn't worry. My Modern teacher who has been a marker said that you had to answer the question - not re-interpret it as a trot-through of your personality's life from the day they were born. I did Mikhail Gorbachev. The Q was a reflection of the syllabus: 2 Background – family background...

Re: How was modern Exam? Doesn't make any difference; it could have been 24 irrelevant or badly-structured pages. Could get a worse mark than someone who wrote 6. All depends on the argument.

Re: How was modern Exam? Yeah same! Core will be the decider methinks. My mod teacher was a marker last year and in our half-yearly exam, trials and practice Core, she would mark so hard, reluctant to give a 10 (Sort of like your modern teacher :) ) but I'm hoping she pushed us so that our...

Re: How was modern Exam? Excellent! that makes me feel very confident. and thanks too kujah. 85-88 WOO does that mean that people who earn a raw band 6 end up getting scaled up insanely well? like if the cutoff is 85-88 raw, then someone who earnt 92 raw ends up with 94 or something? I can...

Re: Board Of Studies..Any HSC Mark Documents? Haha well now I can see that doing all Qs in Mod, or at least one from each national study, would be quite extensive... Thanks for your help.

Interesting idea, but might be a problem ethically. How are you going to use primary research methodologies in researching this topic? Interviewing criminals? You would have to be quite careful and address ethical concerns of privacy, confidentiality...I like it though, it's different.

Re: How was modern Exam? Sorry, I'm not equipped with troll-spotting abilities. Fail at life? Ha.

HA Abysmal form of a conclusion...Best call.

lol @ this pathetic thread

Do people ranked 2-10 in the state receive notification on the 17th or is it the previous day as well? Or after?

Re: How was modern Exam? Why does everyone keep posting how many pages they wrote? It's not indicative of band 6 results whatsoever. You can get write 8 pages and get the same mark as someone who wrote 23. The skill is in the historical argument...Not how much you write.

post it up in the pips showcase? i'd like to read it.

Agreed. C'mon, don't make us all feel stupid...

Re: Board Of Studies..Any HSC Mark Documents? cem, thank you for sharing your knowledge! makes me feel so much better to know what the Senior Marker said to you - "These kids have worked their butts off for 13 years..." etc I just wanted to ask, if raw band cut-offs for the Modern essay...

I AM SO JEALOUS. I have four exams left, with the last one on the 13th. fuck.
