Great job! Feels relieving to have finally gotten your results, doesn't it? I would estimate anywhere between 80.5 to mid 81.

Great results! You should be proud of yourself :) I know that feeling of being that margin off a Band 6 as it happened to me in 3 subjects. I would say anywhere between 91 and high 92.

Well, this happened to me but the other way around (did so much better for my exam marks). Worst one is Advanced English where I received a 93 as my exam mark, and only an 84 as my assessment mark; leaving me with an HSC mark of 89. Weird how my assessment mark is so much lower than what I...

Research methodologies are basically what you're going/planning to use to help you with your major project. They could be anything such as documentaries, interviews, researching at the library/browsing through the web, etc. Very simple. All the best with your project and History Extension.

I have spare time on my hands, so sure why not? Feel free to PM me.

Hi Chiddy, It is not necessary to quote specific evidence from sources in the core section. But remember that it is important to look at the mark allocation as it can vary from year to year. If the mark allocation is one of higher order, then this would be a better situation to quote...

Not a silly question. You should ensure that you define discovery in your 'thesis' - but you need to ensure that this definition is directly and explicitly linked to the direction that the question gives. Remember to make sure that you don't just rewrite a prepared response. The question will...

Well my writing isn't small but not very big. I would say ~1300 for What is History? and probably ~1450 for the Case Study. I started with the Case Study since I memorised an essay that fit perfectly with the question. With the core section, I had to briefly analyse the source, and think about...

Very good exam! I wrote 9.5 pages for What is History? and 11 for the case study! Questions suited very well to what I had studied.

Halo 5, and some good old zombies on Kino Der Toten

InteGrand is correct. Just passing all of your exams would not mean an ATAR of 70. For example, one year, 50 could scale very well whereas in another year, it could scale very badly. You must also consider the difficulty of the exam, how well the Year 12 cohort went overall etc. Simply passing...

Really can't make any predictions for History Extension. 'What is History?' is much too broad, and most schools do different case studies.

The Baptist Church is definitely a branch of protestantism.

Excellent exam. - WWI section was very good. I made two mistakes in the multiple choice unfortunately (I rushed too quickly), but it happens. Source questions were very good. - Germany section was also very good. Nazi racial policy + consolidation was a very broad question, and hence, you...

TP is turning points, i.e. Battle of the Coral Sea, Midway, Guadalcanal and New Guinea.

Hi Modern, You will not lose marks if you do not include historians. The purpose of historiography is to help support your judgement and argument. It helps with sustaining the points you've made. I know numerous people who did not use historiography in National Studies and Conflict that...

I definitely agree with Ocean. That would be a great choice of a piece. Also, Asturias by John Williams on classical guitar is insanely difficult to perfect. So if you could handle it, I will guarantee that you'll get top marks. Cliffs of Dover on electric is also another good one. Personally, I...

For acoustic, you could look at the great Andy McKee, Tommy Emmanuel and Sungha Jung. I find most of their arrangements/compositions relatively easy to learn; though there are definitely some challenging pieces. Drifting is an impressive song to learn and took me less than a month to perfect...

I must say that the questions for Module A: King Richard III + Looking for Richard, Module B: T.S Eliot, and Module C: People and Landscapes were excellent.

Great day at both UTS and USyd today! Btw, has anyone been to one of those 'HSC in the Holidays' Workshops (perhaps for the Trials etc.)? I'm looking into it but I noticed the prices are pretty expensive. So I was just wondering, are they worth it?
