Question B all the way. 'Propaganda terror and repression? Oh. You mean EVERY FREAKING THING THAT THE NAZIS EVER DID? Oh. Okay.' Hence the 11 pages of little handwriting. Kristallnacht got a mention, but not a big one. I focused more on the SS and Gestapo in respects to their dealings on the...

WWI- Lines given + 2 pages Germany- 11 Leni- 10 Conflict in Europe- 12 (That hurt :P) Easy test overall. Just hope it doesn't make the cut-offs for a band 6 ridiculously high, I'm hoping to scrape it in...

Best exam EVER!!!!! SciFi question was awesome! Saw the essay question, no stimulus, no suggestion, no nothing, just 'write an essay about technology and morality in SciFi'. I practically had a geek-gasm. And that was just the reading time :rofl: 13 page story, 11 page essay. Pretty happy...

That then requires a redefinition of sorts, because it means that we are no longer talking about 'sexual acts' so much as 'mating', and there obviously is a discenible difference. In that case, there is certainly a quantifiable argument against incest that will produce children. I don't know if...

Yes Iron, as a matter of fact, I have felt a decisive lack of frens (sic) lately... Personally, I don't really see how the religious standing of the PM matters. The majority of them are Christians, but that doesn't seem to hold a great deal of sway over their actual policy-making ability, so...

Interesting that you specifically requested a liberalist opinion... although I guess I can see why. In that case, I got one for yoy :P Although it has effectively been voiced prior, I'm part of the "If there's mutual consent- there's nothing wrong with it" train of thought. I agree with you in...

Went pretty damn well overall. Pompeii questions were a little unexpected but not hard: industry is varied enough to allow for breadth of answers and tourism basically covers everything under conservation, preservation etc. Persia was awesome: almost identical to the trial we had, and scaling...

I'm the same, although you're right (at least from what I've seen) in saying that we're in the minority. I mean, I did practise essays and everything for study, but I didn't actually prepare my essay prior. Which, as it turns out, was probably lucky given the one text thing. My creative was...

S.1= 5 Pages. 14/15 S.2= 7 Pages. 15/15 S.3= 8 Pages. 13/15 Being optimistic on the S.1/2 marks, and I have really small handwriting, so hopefully it all works out. Good luck all!

I thought it fitted well, albeit after the few minutes it took me to sort out my thesis. Essentially it comes down to Abigail understands and Proctor doesn't.. etc. etc. Of course. You don't have to worry too much about the subject of the understanding. It's pretty much the same with the...

The two stimuli were annoyingly similar. I ended up kind of doing the first one with an apple allegory, then switching to the second because it was religious themed and I could pull the whole "God loves you just the way you are" line. Hopefully the marker doesn't mind the ambivalence... It was...

Admittedly, I was thrown by the question only asking for one text, although the ten minutes reading time meant I had a few minutes to decide how to adapt my thesis to only having prescribed +1. On the whole, it went pretty damn well. The question was very broad, the whole 'understanding' concept...

So, I know that the mods and SAM officials have told us time and time again that SAM only works on aligned marks. However, given that I am obviously not in possession of my aligned marks, I am left with a quandary. In the interests of assuaging at least some of my ATAR fears, it would be good to...

Ok...that works pretty well. Thanks guys. Did some slight editing and ended up with 21/25 for the trial. Pretty happy with that. Just wondering exactly what Rextu was referring to in terms of being 'evocative'?

Overall, pretty good. Much easier than the Catholic Trial, I thought. 5/7/8 Pages. Hoping for 14-15-13. The creative stimulus was a little bit too broad though, and, unlike visual stimuli, left nothing to the imagination. (Which is kind of pointless in a creative writing piece :P)

That is a very interesting (and uncharacteristically factual) take on the matter. One that does have, I must concede, a great deal of truth to it... Unfortunately for you (and this is perhaps the only reason why the sun is currently at High Noon, yet to set on either side), is that the vast...

Don't say that; his life will no longer have any purpose! But in all seriousness, you know something's wrong with the world when Iron takes the moral high ground over a potential argument. That being said, I am forced to concede that this particular side-fight has gone on for far too long...

This is an incredibly destructionist prospect...that completely fails to grasp the nature of the debate. The question here is not whether we brought sin into the world- this is obvious. The question is where this came from. Your God is the root of all evil, phrase it how you want, it's...

The obvious counter-argument here is the usual "Who's to decide <insert decision here>?" But here it's just unnecessary, there has to be a vetting process of some kind attached before anyone (Sexual orientation aside) can access IVF. So PwarYuex, I agree with you entirely. However, personally...

Personally I think Descartes was taking slightly too simplistic an argument here, in taking the nature of thought to be co-dependent on existence. Essentially placing too much stock in the nature of the thinker. By definition the pre-requisites attached for one to in fact exist are slightly...
