    General Thoughts: History Ext

    I wrote about academic history, like empiricism, and how these methods can be used to underpin the popular history in our society. Like the Australian census, which cements ideas on multiculturalism/national identity through the study of quantitative data. I also explored how popular history...

    Viva Voce - already???!

    I got 100% for my viva. Make sure you have a genre or whatever down flat. Remember you can change your concept a bit though. Use literary theory that relates to your work. My major work was a historical fiction piece, across three different time periods. I used travelling theory. This is all...

    Raw mark for a band E4?

    ^ That's what I thought. It's Extension History and scales/aligns whatever reasonably well.

    Raw mark for a band E4?

    Hey, I don't really understand the information given (sorry for sounding dumb). So the raw mark is the one that we actually get in the exam? If so, wow. I expected an E4 cutoff to not be so high :S Is this really accurate?

    After The Bomb - Critical Theory

    Don't stress if you didn't. In fact, my teacher said an over use of theorists leads to people not analysing the literature effectively - he said it is better to use theories and relate them to the work.

    How would you answer the Hamlet question from last year?

    Discuss Hamlet's change over the course of the play. You know, action and inaction. How he has gone from a coward etc, to someone who is fearless and will avenge the King's death. All that sort of thing. But, that's what I'd do anyway.

    Hamlet Predictions

    Hm, I'm not sure. They may specify a scene we have to refer to, but the question could be really broad.

    What is you ATAR AIM and School rank?

    I just want 90+, school rank is like ~300. Fortunately my cohort is good this year :)

    What HSC marks are you aiming for?

    I think for every .05, there are 49 people. So 49 each year get 99.95, and it goes down from there. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

    Know of any schools that offer the HSC over two years?

    Some girls at my school have done it before. Usually it is for special circumstances, such as mental illness or learning disability, but they still want their HSC. However, I do know of people who complete pathways in order to focus on special, elite sporting commitments. I think you can also...

    How do you answer the last short answer question?

    My teacher who marks AOS said that they want you to re use your analysis from the previous sections, but obviously with more elaboration and links to question. Mini essay structure is a must in order to get that 5.

    How does course preference work for medicine, UAC!

    They give you your first preference if you're eligible for it. So, if you want to do Med, put it first and Engineering second. If you want to do Engineering, put it first. If you get a 99 ATAR, and don't make it into Med, well, you'll get into Engineering. You have to decide what you really...
