Just try your best, and anything is possible. - Being first also gives you a much bigger advantage to obtaining a band 6 too. n_n Best of luck.

I really like your options :) Only cause History is tops ;). Apparently New England's Historical Inquiry degree is very interesting - a few members on here do it! Ancient History Honours would be soooo awesome. n_n To OP I'm still fiddling with my preferences a bit, will work them out next...

Agreed. Definitely talk to your year advisor, or even a teacher you're just comfortable with (they will do the appropriate steps to get the issue sorted out for you.) I hate to see students struggle during the school year, and added issues certainly doesn't make it any easier. I know it's not...

Haven't received marks back yet, but my teacher has said it can't get any better when I was handing in drafts to her previous to handing it in. n_n My question was: 'To what extent did the portrayal of Classical Women in Greek representational Art, Literature and Mythology contribute to the...

My teacher taught the core with extreme detailed, in class discussions and as such. But in terms of our notes, for each dotpoint we wouldn't have more than half a page to remember. The idea is that it is a source based exam, in which the sources will spark some connections with the information...

Good work guys! n_n To OP looks like you need to brush up on Egypt a little. Some studying over the next few months will certainly have those sections improved! And great mindset, I like your positivity :) Congratulations to everyone who did brilliantly. I didn't do the CSSA Trial so I...

I'd recommend you check the resource section if you're still after notes. Or you could purchase / borrow some the summary guides which have notes on the topics; such as Excel, Macquarie, or the HTA study guides. Though I wouldn't rely on just one, but a combination of all three, plus class notes...

Yes, the Palace Economy indeed does share quite a number of features that would reflect a communistic form of economy. Though, (from my reading of the topic) I can't recall any Minoan Historians out-right saying that Minoan Civilisation was communist. I think if you wanted to stand out to the...

Nah, my school wrote it. n_n

Same sort of lines at SpiceTrader alluded to, maybe create visuals to help you learn and memories content, for all my big content subjects English / Legal / Modern / Ancient / Extension History I make diagrams, mind-maps, presentations, flow charts you name it. Drives me a bit insane, and...

But Doctor Who comes back NEXT WEEEEEEEEEK :D:D:D Let's Kill Hitler, how can you bear the torture of waiting? D: Hasn't it been long enough already?!?!?!?! To OP: It's only the HSC, you have you whole life to look forward, don't let it be marginalised to the HSC.

Not a problem, my apologies for the multiple posts, they seemed a bit long to combine all in one. n_n Hope they're useful to you, they were just some notes from a powerpoint my teacher presented to us when we studied Sparta.

On the Ekklesia (Assembly) - DECISION MAKING: - “ After them the commoners Shall make response to direct proposals With conscientious speech and all just consequence, Making no twisted plans against our realm And commoner’s majority shall win the day”...

ON GEROUSIA: - Xenophon: “Lycurgus also provided for the continual cultivation of virtues even to old age, by fixing the election to the council of elders as a last ordeal at the goal of life, thus making it impossible for a high standard of virtuous living to be disregarded even in old...

ON KINGS: - Xenophon, Constitution of the Spartans, 15 ‘He laid it down as law that the king shall offer on behalf of the state all public sacrifices, as being himself of divine descent, and shall lead wherever the state dispatches an army. He granted him to receive honorary gifts from the...

The Key Features book is actually a really good source for Modern History, used in conjunction with other sources of course. Dependent on the topics you do for Preliminary / HSC there are other text books out there that are quite great in detail and Historiography. For example, Contested Spaces...

In years 9 and 10 I did elective History, Food technology, Photography and Visual Art. Woot for lazy and fun subjects. n_n

Best exam was Ancient History and Modern History. Close behind being Studies of Religion II. n_n

Historiography is basically the perspectives of historians, and to integrate these into History essays all that is need is for example is: J. Smith argued that "World War I was due to German Empirical Expansion". Generally you would include Historians in responses when there is quite a lot of...

Mine this year was Historical, and anyone who knows me can guess why. n_n Maybe when I'm old, decrepit and in a nursing home and I can wear it and it might actually match my physical age.
