I did mod + ext last year, and for those doing multiple history units, if you enjoy it you will most certainly pull through with flying colours. Essay writing skills are essential, but if you don't like the courses then don't bother. Im sure most of you like them. :)

That is unfair, but is a better system, because having to do a project which can be so arbitarily marked (as it was in our case) by an internal marker was just unfair and jeopardised the UAI's of a lot of people. External marking is better because it much more objective.

It is a lot of work as a single unit so this is much better.

Do you actually have any proof on this? Or is it just some hearsay going around?

I'm doing 5 units as well... have exams in less than 2 weeks! all i can say to fellow 5 unit people out there is DON'T STOP STUDYING! seriously I'm so screwed because I have only just started to study and have to memorise quotes as well! BIG MISTAKE! but on the other had I'm getting alot more work in Ancient History that Modern and Extention but that could be becasue my Ancient teacher is the head of history
