Now that the 2015 HSC is over, I'm selling my Pompeii and Herculaneum notes for any enterprising 2016 students. It's a pretty comprehensive summary, and will be really useful in helping to bolster your notes during the course.
I'm from a Top 20 school, and came first in my internals for Ancient History. I came out with 95 for the Ancient HSC, achieving Band 6s for all my other courses, as well as getting into the Top 3 in the state for Visual Arts.
Every header fits the syllabus dot points to ensure all information is relevant. I've also put a lot of photographs of buildings/structures, which is integral to recognising the source images in HSC exams. In terms of how up-to-date the ethics/changing interpretations are, I've followed up all the recent collapses and thefts, with the most recent mention being in September when an American tourist tried to smuggle a piece of a Pompeian column in his luggage. (EDIT: I no longer update the summary, most recent discoveries/events are since November 2014)
Most, if not all pages are in dot points and are usually no longer than one or two lines for easier reading. It's a 93 page document in full, and I'm charging $50 for the Core package. The price may be a bit steep, but you get what you pay for!
I also have comprehensive Ancient summaries for the electives Sparta, Personalities: Julius Caesar, and the Fall of the Roman Republic. Each elective costs $30, but for each elective purchased alongside the Core package, you get a subsequent $10 off.
If you're interested in the summaries and would like to learn more, I am best reached at taconotes@gmail.com.
