    NK Egypt Question on Imperialism

    Formation of the empire is more to do with the expulsion of the Hyksos, and the contributions of the pharaohs in reestablishing Egyptian power.. Like Ahmose reconstructing buildings that had been damaged by the invasion, and the rise of militarism etc. As far as I know administration of the...

    What bos said about the sor 2009 hsc exam

    Omggg it wasn't from the preliminary course! Do you actually think the board of studies would be stupid enough to set a paper that assessed more than they are allowed to? The christianity question was asking you to discuss the aspects of your depth study, the depth study that you LEARNT IN YEAR...

    What bos said about the sor 2009 hsc exam

    Clearly I'm not the idiot because I knew how to answer the question, KIDDING don't kill me. I meant in regards to someone saying "they should have given us a warning they were changing the question". The point of the exams is to test your knowledge and understanding of what you've learnt over...

    That sounds right to meee. Although I guess no one really knows, I wouldn't be worried if I was you though.

    What bos said about the sor 2009 hsc exam

    I think, though I'm not sure like every one else, that the link was in the relation of the passage to the principle beliefs of Christianity. The divinity and humanity of Jesus Christ was evident with the quotes "He sat at the table with them" and then "He suddenly vanished" (I don't have the...

    What bos said about the sor 2009 hsc exam

    I'm aware english is different, I am just pointing out that a lot of people were not prepared for the one related text, and it affected a lot of their essays, some people not even reading the word ONE and using two. The change to their essays and the stress of having to extend their response...

    What bos said about the sor 2009 hsc exam

    I don't actually understand what you mean by a warning. What they asked was perfectly within the limits of the syllabus and assessed HSC topics, I do not see the need for a warning to change the wording of the question! Like baggygreen said, it is stated in the first line of the syllabus so...

    What bos said about the sor 2009 hsc exam

    Seriously, I know the question was confusing. When I got it I freaked out too but really all you had to do was just interpret it. Like with the Islam question, obviously you knew that they couldn't assess you on just Mohammed because you don't study him and it was clearly about revelation.. you...

    What bos said about the sor 2009 hsc exam

    By the way, from the BOS site it shows how it did link to the year twelve syllabus which makes the schools appealing it look insanely stupid Studies of Religion I and Studies of Religion II Section III — Religious Tradition Depth Study 1 20 Buddhism Ethics or Significant Practices H1, H2...

    What bos said about the sor 2009 hsc exam

    I did Christanity & Islam which I thought were both kinda obvious. I know it wasn't a straight out question and it confused a lot of people but rather than everyone who wrote 'invalid question' there are three things you have learnt for that depth study.. why wouldn't you just write a bit about...

    What bos said about the sor 2009 hsc exam

    Ahh this is what the article says Was Section 3 based on the syllabus? Yes. All five question options were based on the Studies of Religion syllabus and you can now read the mapping grid of 2009 exam questions to syllabus areas. Was I supposed to have studied those quotes? No. The...

    What bos said about the sor 2009 hsc exam

    1. READ THIS Board of Studies News. They did examine what was on the syllabus. You've learnt three different aspects of the religion you studied, if you couldn't work out that they were asking you to talk about them you don't deserve the marks anyway. 3. You can't appeal an exam because you...

    SOR I - Section 3! YOUR THOUGHTS

    Spazamataz, there was no mistake? Just because the question didn't hit everyone in the face with the direct words from the syllabus doesn't mean they made a mistake. The outcomes up the top clearly said "a variety of religious aspects" or something along those lines.. we've studied three aspects...

    SOR I - Section 3! YOUR THOUGHTS

    SOPHIE N "we are specifically told not to study Mohammed and we dont ever look at the quran. most ridiculous exam of my life, that question threw me off for the entire exam. absolutely ridiculous" The question wasn't asking you to speak about Muhammed although you *are* supposed to have...
