Has your teacher showed you the guidelines and the course requirements? The project has a max of 2,500 words (10% leniency however). My essay which is complete and just waiting to be handed in next Thursday, is 2,583 words exact. Of course, the major is marked internally so technically the Board...

If it's due first week back, then it's due first week back. Your teacher should have given you a timeline of when logbooks are checked, drafts are due, and then when the final submission is due. If it's due first week back, I would very much hope you have already given in a draft. As stated...

Basically the legacy is referring to his impact on Persia after his death, so what he left behind. Most textbooks you find design the information and organise his legacy typically under a chapter, such as 'an assessment of Xerxes' or 'an Evaluation of his life', in which you would also find a...

Here are some texts relevant to the period: (both ancient and modern sources listed:) Burn, ARR. (1984) Persia and the Greeks, Duckworth, London. Dandemaev, M.A. and Lukonin, V.G. (1989) The Culture and Social Institutions of Ancient Iran, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge. Herodotos...

I disagree, I think 10 units is perfectly fine. As Slyhunter said there are people who do more than 10 units, I myself do 13, and aren't having extensive difficulties with the work load or anything. And I have a fairly sociable life, and 2 jobs, so n_n. I also like the broadness that is...

The BOS sets a guide of when the Majors should be submitted, which is usually start of Term 3. The schools then decide what week to have them due and what day, etc; as they are internally marked. My major is due in Thursday Week 2 of Next Term. n_n If you are worried, it'd be best to ask your...

Ahaha, bit early don't you think? n_n But, Don't NARRATE the history! Make sure you infuse argument into your essays, by the use of sources and Historians. Have a careful and strict structure. USE sources to enhance arguments. Keep to the question, don't go on long irrelevant rambles -...

My teacher uses a combo of both. For the CORE we had a set text book, plus handouts and as such. Though many teachers will photocopy several sources and compile them in a mega-booklet for you. Mainly because, sections require the study of Historians and their opinions, thus that requires...

Best to look at some past HSC questions if you want a feel for the type of questions that will be asked. Nothing out of the ordinary, assess, evaluate, account, explain, all those higher order questions. Depends on the internal assessment tasks. Some might be take home, others in class. The...

Okay first off, bear in mind that both CAFS and Society and Culture have 'major projects', CAFS being the IRP and Society and Culture being the PIP (I don't do either of those subjects, so you'll have to ask around what both those projects entail in year 12. Though, with your current mix of...

Unfortunately for everyone who has double exam days we'll just have to take it like a champ and suck it up. u_u If you prepare well enough in advance, you shouldn't have too much of an issue with the two exams. It's only when you cram that you'll have issues arise since one subject will be...

Agreed 100%. It's a 'do at your own risk' to ROTE learn an essay and memorise it. The essay must also be generic enough to be easily manipulated to suit a variety of questions, otherwise you'll entirely miss the question target. This form of essay is hard to achieve, without knowing the...

I don't study Trotsky as a personality for the HSC, but over the years I have found this site to be quite exceptional with the information they provide on Trotsky: http://www.trotsky.net/russian_revolution.html Not sure if you've looked at it, I'm sure your teacher would have pointed it out...

I've actually maintained my weight. I do a lot of walking to and from school, and work (work itself is a strenuous activity in itself!), and I regularly jog and play soccer with my group of friends at least once a week. Please guys don't let the HSC completely ruin your health; make sure you're...

I've completed my trials already, but here's a few tips I have for you: - In regards to the CORE: Remember the most you'll get is an 8 mark question (excluding the 10 marker question that assesses section III), so structure BRIEF notes keeping how much you can get assessed. I structured my...

Basically it's the skills that you acquire in year 11 and the foundations to the information that you learn that will contribute to year 12. For example the skills of source analysis, analysis of case studies will provide the foundations you need in year 12 histories and legal studies (probably...

Left for Dead 2 is extremely addictive.... n_n

My school is a public school thats 7-12 and is ranked 175-190 (so not spectacular), and I have found over the years that the quality of teaching varied from subject to subject. One conclusion I made in regards to the faculties was that the dedication/nature/talent/knowledge of the head teacher...

Past papers, summarising, constructing detailed notes, more past papers, reading over notes, more past papers, exploding over past papers, reading over information, analysing sources / case studies, summarising first hand investigations.... Oh the joys of Trials....OH WAIT I've already done...
