I have just started HSC this term. In year 11, I stressed so much and felt really anxious all the time. Nowadays (even as I'm writing this) I constantly feel this stressed, tension in my stomach nonstop which in unpleasant and worries me more. I usually feel like this when I have an...

Hi, Having a dilemma I got back my first HSC Mathematics exam back. I got 74 % (it was out of 35) which is the class average (excluding extension kids). It's not too bad if you put an average amount of effort, however I was so disappointed because I put in so so so much effort. The test was on...

Thanks so much for your advice and tips. It was really helpful. :)

If an ancient history essay went something along the lines of "Explain how ancient and modern sources help historians to reconstruct Minoan society". Lets say you picked three aspects of the society like Minotaur myth, social organisation, political organisation to talk about with sources...

So, what do you have to do in history extension to do well. I'm not talking so much about the project, but the essays, case study and final hsc exam. My teacher says we should read widely. Should I summarise every article I read? I'm not sure, what I need to know or how to study for history...

You should be: - enjoy history - independently driven - focused and committed - very good at writing. You need to have a sophisticated style of writing - talk to your 2 unit teacher before taking it - be confident in 2 unit history - drop to 12 units for HSC - have a wide knowledge of events in...

E4 cut off is around 42 - 43 out of 50, not as good as extension english 1 which only requires 39 ish. But that said, english is waaay harder

I'm at the process of choosing a topic. I want to focus on either medieval or modern history.The actual topic isn't that hard to search for information, but whether there is enough information concerning historiographical issues and debates, critics etc. is another question. I haven't got a...

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone could provide tips for balancing two major projects? I'm doing history extension and society and culture Although history extension is not considered a "major work", its still a major part of the internal marks. Does anyone have some tips and advice for...

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone could provide tips for balancing two major projects? I'm doing history extension and society and culture which involves a personal interest project. Although history extension is not considered a "major work", its still a major part of the internal marks...

No, that's okay. :) At the moment I have study periods but for French continuers. I think I might drop french to do history extension so I have the freedom in study periods. The great think about OHS is they already load the whole years work on moodle so I can save it to my laptop and teach...

That's good to hear. so if you'd pretty much done it in the holidays, when did you have your topic idea and did you start researching from week 2, or 3 of term 4. Also how did you balance those the two projects, like what were your methods to balance them out and stay on top?

thanks for your advice. :) It was helpful So, in general to do well 1- 2 hours is a good amount. Does this just include the project or does it also include reading from source booklet, widening knowledge about historians, homework etc.. My teacher says that we're expected to read widely, not...

I am doing it through open high school. How hard is it to get a band 6. My teacher says its getting harder and harder because too many native speakers are blitzing the exam and having an "unfair advantage". What marks roughly would you have to get in assessment tasks. What is the approximate...

I am doing history extension at the moment, and there isn't too much work. The class is interesting, the work is okay like the reading. I mean its just about history I suppose. The dilemma is that I have 14 units and I must drop something. I'm choosing between a language course (which I think...

So I've started year 12 and I may or may not be continuing French. The main reason is that I have 14 units (yikes I know) cos I picked up history extension, Cos I am coming first in all my history subjects. I'm also not sure whether I can get a high band 5 to 6 in French as it requires you...

I do french continuers through the open high school because there weren't enough people to make a class. I think if you are going on exchange and you really want to do it, definitely do it through open high school. In terms of being disadvantaged, I tended to forget about it as I got immersed in...

TIPS AND ADVICE: 1. Practice, practice, practice any of the above skills you mentioned 2. Watch Italian news, Italian shows to better immerse yourself. This will improve your listening. The only way to become better at something is to keep doing it. Find some easier listening tapes, that are at...

I think it's definitely possible. I know someone who got a D in chemistry in year 11 and came first in their school in it in year 12. You also need to be honest with yourself though. If you did put in a sufficient amount of effort in some of your subjects and you didn't do well you should drop...

I want to do something personal to me and based on my own personal experiences and it is linked to the effect of migration and acculturation on the social and cultural identity of Migrant Australians and its impact on australia I want to focus on three aspects including language and...
