It's only the HSC - i got away with a lot of other stuff, which i would get owned for in uni-pari- said:^ i honestly didnt' think you could get away with that.....!
kudos to you - but i'd rather not take the risk
ARE YOU CRAZY?!!! or kinda stupd? my friend wrote 3 pg essays for every essay and recieved a HIGH uai and HIGH hsc mark. both in the 90's.cem said:Point one - the quality is more important than the quantity but... if you aren't sure a good guide is:
WWI - you can get full marks using only the given pages but most of the top responses will write an extra page or so for each of the 10 mark questions.
Personalities - top marks needs about 4 pages for the describe section and about 6 for the second section
Essays (both National and Internationa Studies) you should be looking at 8 - 10 pages
The pages sizes I am referring to here are exam booklet pages remember.
These are a guide only and are assuming average size handwriting.

Also, dw abt exact quotes. As long as u can pharaphise and refer to the essay question when explaining the revealance of your chosen historians point of view, your on the right track. TRRUST ME. ive had 4 markers tell me this. AND a judge - he does the scaling=) god ive got niccee connections

Wouldn't it be easier just to remember the views of the historians, and then do a paraphrase?Silver Persian said:What I did was use 'real' historians. but then make up what they actually say. As long is the claim isn't too out there, the marker will assume you know what your'e talking about.
In regards to your signature... extension,-coffee-addict- said:THANK YOU!! this list is brilliant and so very very helpful.. thank u
Textbook authors are NOT historians. They are merely collaborating information into a form suitable for a syllabus. We are repeatedly told in Extension History that textbook writers don't count. In Ext exams, many people quote Peter Heath, the author of a bunch of HSC notes on JFK for the case study, and markers immediately know they don't understand the term 'historian'.aidin101 said:do not make up historians, rather just back up an idea with a historian who supports it, for example use the name of the author from your text book in my case in studying Germany the author of the book is Kj Mason so any idea i state i will just in brackets put KJ Mason next to it, however have about 2 or 3 historians for each area of study to show you have an undersanding and just havent accepted one viewpoint.
