The paper could be described as fair. Actually, the World War I question sources helped a lot because I could not come up with the answers without the sources as a trigger to my memory.
At OTEN our other topics besides WWI were Indochina, the Russian Revolution and Leon Trotsky. Initially, the questions in the Russian area fazed me but I eventually got over my nervousness and started remembering things I needed to write about.
To the bitter people out there who are so caught up in their misery that they want to trash people for trying hard in their exams and for sharing their experience of tackling questions, then I can say you're on the wrong forum.
Maybe you need to contribute to one where you can talk with likeminded people about what's wrong with the world and you can call each other horrible names. The rest of us just want to get on with our lives and waiting for the HSC to lead us to the next step in our education. Get a life. To those who are serious about discussing the Modern History paper, good luck.
