Yes, I know :( but I still talked in part about others attitudes, but it just wasn't the focus that it should have been. It's only half of the whole question and there is still paper 2 so I am hoping for the best.

Read it as attitudes TO other not attitudes OF others :(

The speaker gains a sense of identity through exploring ancestral connections. The creased image is symbolic of his tarnished and fragmented perceptions as he tries to overcome the impassable barriers of death and the passage of time....at least that's the bullshit I came up with. One thing I...

Don't worry, it's very unlikely. If there is something on food it would be part of a larger question on everyday life or something. I have a Sparta book written by this renowned historian that basically addresses all the dot points in waaay to much detail, and even he has literally like two...

Like I said before, it puts us all on an equal footing. No-one would have prepared and memorized paragraphs on EVERY section of EVERY speech set for study. Hence, we all have to make it up there and then, and they examine what they are supposed to examine: How well we can bs comparing to the...

Grr, why can't the exams come already!? I am sick of revising the same stuff over and over and over again! Especially English :/ In regards to unis, I've been in the "Besides the G8 nothing else exists" mindset for too long. I am sure that's not entirely fair to the other institutions but I...

Hmm I think you'll find that's probably only enough to adequately describe the character's hair colour :/ Aim for about 20,000 in total. No..but in all seriousness. If you have a strong enough story 700 would be sufficient. Mine is about 700-800.

Yes, true. I just hope they decide to provide and extract. That way we are all on an equal footing i.e having to analyse on the spot. Otherwise it's just relying too much on luck. I mean, even those fantastic impending state rankers who would know all the speeches like the back of their hand are...

Yeh, about the same I think I had 645 the last time I counted, plus memorized an essay for every possible combination of speeches in module b.

Just wanted to say...I am so screwed for this module :( Not that I didn't work, I did, but seriously, we are basically asked to remember 7 texts (if we want to do well) instead of the usual 2. I personally hate my teacher for choosing this option, when there are other 'normal' options to pick...

I don't know why this hasn't occured to me to ask this before, but is it accetable to write three paragraphs instead of four (in any of the modules)? For example, in belonging I have two on my main text and 1 slightly bigger one on my related. Same with my conflicting perspectives essay. Is this...

Wow, that's very out of the box! Maybe a for a 5 marker its realistic, but a 15...I suppose you could talk about how they ate a balanced diet due to their rejection of rich foods that they believed would lead to a decline in health and effectiveness of the army or something like that. That is a...

Ooh I wished I did those topics :( Ancient Rome is my favorite ancient civilization. Yes so true, it seems that in recent years they have tended to ask questions from the dark little corners of the syllabus everyone forgets about. Last year they asked about Tyrteus, will be funny if they ask...

Aside for the core which is Pompeii, I do Sparta for the society, Akhenaten for personality and 18th-19th dynasty Egypt from Amenhotep III to the Death of Ramesses II for historical time period. What about you?

Just doing past papers and going through some things that I have trouble with for maths. Have 3 out of the 4 essays for English pretty much down, but the last one is speeches so that's going to need work. Revising all the topics in Ancient over again, same with history extension. Did not touch...

I have known my mark since about August! They should have certainly told you, since it is marked internally. I know you posted this a while ago but I hope you found out now :)

Music teacher salaries are shocking these days because there are so many of them. Most of the ones I have been to do it as a part-time thing, except one, but her husband in an engineer the seemed to earn truckloads (hence my assumption about the large salary) and helped her make a small business...

No, you misunderstand. I never linked marketing to maths, I just emphasized it as a field within commerce that I find interesting. My reason for mentioning maths is because it is involved so much of commerce (it being such a broad filed). Also HSC 2 unit maths is assumed knowledge for commerce...

Wow this thread makes me feel better for what some of my UAC choices are. Chances are, I will probably not get into my first choice, which is Music Studies/Arts at Usyd since my Music has been considerably weaker than previously due to my commitment to HSC in general. However, my next option is...

Technically they are allowed to but I would think they would be rendered a little hesitant by the assumption that the students who actually care would have gone through past papers and already written practice essays on the speeches specified in previous years. Thus, naming a new one would prove...
