    Ancient History Predictions!

    Ive noticed a pattern, The last question in that section is always something from the last bit of the syllabus. Im trying to think what they can ask for Sparta, that hasn't really been asked... :\ I'll be praying for an ethics question for P+H! Rumour: I heard they made the PH section harder...

    Sorry for the stupid question. But how do people get low ATARS?

    Related Belonging Texts Into the Wild?

    Im thinking about doing this for my RT. I didn't think it was popular so many people I know haven't heard of it. Its kind of an "indie" film to most. Im sure this year alot of people will do Perks of being a wallflower. I was going to do it as my RT but im 100% positive everyone else will :(
