General Thoughts: Modern History (1 Viewer)

That was so good!!!
WWI was pretty easy. Germany, was also easy, the personality, i didn't like how it was so broad, but yeah still went well. Indochina... Well it was alright, did anybody else pretty much say that the anti-war movements in the US was one of several factors that led to communist victory?

Yeah I said it was one of the many factors that contributed to communist victory and that it was the cause of "Vietnamisation".

I SCREWED UP!!!
For Germany i did question b... i mean WTF was i thinking, i had the best plan for the other one accounting for Wiemar and the those retard 3 guys that screwed up in 32/33, i was hoping for it but then i wrote on b and didnt have time to change... seriously has anyone stuffed up and exam more than i, i went on about crap i didnt no in part b... thats good for everyone else tho (that i went bad) so eevryone please thank me!

Wow, I thought i died and went to heaven! WWI was pretty much straight forward, our class seemed to focus on the Schlieffen plan heaps. Indochina and Russia were good, but I did the bolshevik Q instead of Stalin *Idiot*

Did anyone else find source analysis a bit hard? I said the first source was pretty useless because it lacked in content and was obviously staged and the second source was very useful because of it's depth.

correcto?

 

[ozziguy]

That was pretty encouraging. Managed to churn out literally double the amount of pages in comparison to the trials. 4 for each Source, 15 for Russia, 11 for Trotskydogs, 12 for Namy.

I said pretty much that for Source C, for D I argued that it was useful to an extent, but limited by its very general infomation and lack of specific experiences or impacts, yet still useful nonetheless in conjunction with other sources. Meh I dunno, I always find them a bit tricky.

man i loved this paper.
comrade lenin for the russia question
and the ireland question was a gift!

 

[2AM_rendezvous]

i think i could have done better

i never know how to apprach the second personality questions!! i got 2/15 for the trials and i had no idea today and i just ended up writing one paragraph!! such an idiot!!

otherwise i liked the paper alot...germany questions were our half yearly and conflict in europe was our trials sooo it was good! everyone started laughing during reading time it was quite funny

noo band six but hoping a mid band 5!!

 

[xBecx]

pretty good.

LOVED Germany. Exactly what I studied for. Weimar is the easiest thing to write about!! 9 full pages.

Leni.. took too long doing part A so i rushed B but oh well. filled up the booklet which is good for me.

Indochina. Well, always hated that topic so im stoked considering! Had no idea about A so I went with B and talked shit for 7 pages. I just said it was a contributing factor but so was bla bla bla and talked bout the stuff i actually studied. lol.

overall though I'm very happy with it.

 

[jellybelly59]

it was an awesome paper - wrote 4,8,10,8 respectively for each section.

WWI- good question for a and it was alright for b
Germany - LOL you can't any better than weimar....
Personality - godsend for people doing Leni
Indochina - was starting to run out of time but still managed a decent job

 

[Rocksocks]

Everyone is pretty confident. I wonder how it will scale.

yeh me too....hmmm

not many people here doing 'conflict in europe' that was PERFECT for our school because we had 2 assessments on that question, everyone picked it

WW1 omg it just kept going but that wwas good the info was pumping

Mandela-- wooo couldnt of been more easier, you could of written about any part of his life

South Africa omg could of kissed the paper-- love you Biko

Same with me, spent a bit too long on Part A but I still finished the exam with about 5 minutes left so I was happy.

we did conflict in europe...and we had the same north africa question for one of our assessments..haha most people picked that but i though appeasement was quite easy as well

Absolutely loved that paper. Like, I am unbelievably stoked with how it panned out.
10 pages for Germany (Weimar), 12 for Riefenstahl and 11 for Indochina (Geneva Agreement). All excellent questions.

Although I do have one friend who had a slight breakdown during the exam and didn't write much for Indochina and another friend who left the exam room and just didn't do any of the paper (and is on 10 units), so that sucks.

But now my HSC is DONE. Best way to go out, with a good Modern exam.

 

[Scrub Ya Flaps]

Haha, i wrote about 4 maybe pages each essay... stuffed germany up, i hated the cold war one coz i would have rather it up until 1991 instead of the start and leni was straight forward but wasted to much on part a.. i screwed it up but i still have 2 left so i couldn't care less ATM

Just a quick question: HOW THE FU(K DO YOU GUYS WRITE SO MUCH!!!!

 

[sophmorris]

yeh any idea on the band cut offs?

 

[nicole.forsythe]

I thought the exam was actually alright.
I was freaking out prior to the exam, but generally i'm happy with how it went.
Thought the germany and leni questions were great, the cold war not so confident.

 

[ya-halwe]

Judging by the amount of people that felt overwhelmingly pleased with the paper, i'm going to assume late 80's early 90's.

Omg I did the exact same thing. From the time I had written 2 pages I started to write about crap all! I should have chose Weimar, its so much easier. Wtf.
Ah oh well my bad lol.
