the communist victory question was a bit unexpected imo but i agree i did not feel like doing an essay on the approaches ahaha. p&a was so weird i agree. i hadn't seen a comparison question about the value of the sources before and the 15 marker? huh.
Tbh, I was expecting a communist victory question given that it wasn't at least, really asked in the retrospective HSC questions. I also feel like the Second Civil War can be an area where students may forget because well, that 4 year period from 1945-1949 happens soooo quickly. If you don't mind me asking, what were your options for Peace and Conflict and Change in the Modern World? Because those questions for my options were ABSOLUTE heaven.

nah bc WHY DID MY NATIONAL STUDY HAVE FOREIGN POLICY 3 YEARS IN A ROW
I know I don't do Russia as my National Studies but how the devil would you answer that? I mean Stalin's "socialism in one country and the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact could get you somewhere and something about the Comintern but in essence:

"W H A T F O R E I G N P O L I C Y ?"

i did indochina for peace and conflict and we got great questions for that too - it was "why was there conflict in indochina from 1954?" and "why did anti-war movements emerge in response to the conflict in vietnam?" (not in exact words). i was expecting some really niche and specific question about communist victory in laos and cambodia or the tet offensive but yk what i'll take it! i did crm for section four and it wasn't entirely unexpected - leadership, opposition, evaluation of success. i found it a bit interesting that the survey wasn't assessed to a bigger extent, esp in p&a as that seemed to be the trend in recent years.

Imagine for CRM if they added a purely Malcolm X question...
Or for Indochina, "assess the implications of Dien Bien Phu"

Russia power struggle q was pretty good, just was weird at first glance as with most of the exam hahaha
Now that I am looking at the questions again, I am slightly confused as to why NESA decided to do a 2022 reincarnation but arguably, easier. I was honestly prepping for another 2021 modern exam
