    Appeasement

    Right, we've done appeasement this year. So I just thought I'd ask to clarify, an area of debate would be about Hitler's intentions to create the war; e.g. hitlocentric v. revisionist viewpoints etc, that's acceptable in the exam right? Because it's not directly examining appeasement, but rather...

    hardworking Vs. intelligence

    I got given dux of my school, and there are bright people who worked harder to get it but didn't. Intelligence helps a lot in the hsc, of course, hard work is also necessary, but I think most importantly how you study, the quality more than the quantity of study matters.

    Belonging - 2 supp texts okay!

    I like what Andre says. He's not even English, and he can tell o.O. Quite frankly that decision is bullshit. It merely demonstrates the lobbying power of a couple of private schools imo.

    Legible Handwriting

    They say your handwriting is good, and not your writing? How well you write has nothing to do with the legibility of your handwriting. My handwriting is pretty poor, but I WRITE well, hence I get better marks for that. Putting aside something that you probably already understand... If your...

    What would....

    I was thinking this too, only 6% got band 6s last year...That's not many, like compare that to 17% in maths. Of course, modern is subjective as hell
