Bachelor of Arts (History, Politics and Philosophy) at Campbelltown. I seriously hope they have an arcade with DDR close by...

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...

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...

Me, I am using Riley Smith, Runciman, Nicetas Choniates, Amin Malouf and the Annonymous writer of the Gesta Francorum. You plan on using Gibbon, tink 18? That's quite suprising, I've never actually seen Gibbon being used on the second half (case study) of the essay. I'm only using Gibbon in the...

Yes, I am using Thucydides as one of my historians for the first section of the X-History exam. If you want to use him, what you need to do is find a some bit of info on his background (context), but most importantly, his history (The Peloponnesian War). Find out how, why and when he wrote his...

Well, I am definitely going to America for a holiday (Nov 27-Jan 29) so I have a bit of relaxation time. Without my parents, I might add, because I'm the only one going *evil grin*. Anyways, I hope to get into Macquarie University to do Ancient History (Honours). Outside university, I want to...

Well, I WANT to get 87 UAI, but I am not sure. I hope whatever I get is in the 80s, though. That means a couple of band 5 results and maybe a band 6 result...

'I believe I can fly' by R Kelly always gets me up when I think I'm about to fall apart from the stress.
