Predictions for Modern? (29 Viewers)

[earlgreyteawithmilkfoam]

Any other notable dot points worth planning for apart from these?
Russia: political transformation, Bolshevik consolidation, emergence of Stalin
Europe: d-day, early successes

i would say maybe the stalinism/totalitarianism dotpoint for russia

How are you bothered. I remember I had two exams in one day and then was dead for another week didn't even study for the other subjects (for trials btw)

my trials time table was horrendous; i had adv eng, modern history, sor2, cafs and ees back to back nothing can break my stride (i'm fighting off sleep rn help)

 

[hscccc]

Another quick question, can I get good marks in Modern if I dont mention historians at all? Like a good 23 or even 24, even I dont mention any historian

yes - marker feedback says weaker responses often use them to supplement for a lack of knowledge, so if you use them make sure its not for that! also incorporate it into ur sentence so it flows, not just randomly placed somewhere as it should only be used to back up ur argument

i'd die, i HATE power struggle

power struggle is like one of the easier dot points i reckon

I got 25 without historian quotes??? I've never been told to include them, might as well memorise some if it actually helps

yeah that's why i said that my quotes strengthened my points, i didnt say they were necessary.

I feel like my signature is a little misleading lmao
I've only got 3 people in my class. I am 1/3. I do still average at 90% for most of my assessments though.
Most of the advice I could give is pretty general, but two things I should mention, use subordinating conjunctions! (However, although, despite, even though), and also paraphrase historiography, don't just drop in a 2 line historian's quote, show the marker you understand what the historian is actually saying and relate it to your argument.

This is all facts - I did the same and I got 1 too. I’d also recommend having 1 line of argument to streamline your repsonses, especially in the hsc. Don’t sit on the fence - my teacher who’s a senior hsc marker always used to say that people who sit on the fence and don’t make a clear arguement, with it muddled etc don’t access the high bands

Yeah, I literally just remember a couple names (since I think HSC markers might know the names of historians associated with each topic) and just make up what they've saying to suit my argument.

 

[bbmiffy]

how are u all preparing for the indochina essay? for some reason it feels like theres just so much more things to memorise than the other topics and im struggling to make essay meal preps for it

[dolcumber]

Does anyone know how necessary historians are for section 4, should I spend some time learning some?
