Ancient history is fucked

you canstudy for 20 days straight and still go into the exam and have no fucking idea what any of the questions are about!

 

[bec_ca]

lol, you werent alone and atleast you studied. i wish i could say the same...

 

[SmokedSalmon]

and plus it is poorly scaled!!!!!!!!!! fucking board of studies

 

[bjMaxx]

i agree.
it oughta be scaled higher simply because you have to know sooooo much.
like, those historical periods are HUGE.

 

[miz vl turbo]

fuck, i rekon ay.. although i thought the questions were reasonable and were pretty broad.. therefore allowing me to bs a lot seein as tho i did jack all preperation

 

[jaNetix]

i do 2 historical periods..= PAIN IN THE ASS!!!!!

 

[supervesie]

anicent history is my hardest subject.
(my other subjects being: 4u eng, 2u adv maths, history extension, va,)
yet, excluding visual art, it is scaled the worst
something is WRONG
probably scaled down because all the ancient history students are so busy studying for ancient and forgetting their other exams!!!

 

[sugared plum]

Yah totally. Ancient is the worst.

The syllabus is far too fucking big, exam a total bitch, for many of the topics the textbooks suck, most teachers are shit, and, at the end of it, the scaling means it isn't worth the effort.

Anyway, I guess we all did learn one thing from the experience - NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!

Ancient is NOT scaled good at all, it's scaled down. Last year it was something like -24 or something like that. Ancient was scaled up before the new hsc, but yeah after that it just sucked so much.

Listen, ancient is scaled down, primarily because heaps do it, secondly it isnt actually HARD!, it just takes a shitload of memory (which i dont FUCKING have!) and thirldly, well there is no thirdly.
Damn u BOS! Damn You 2 HELL!

 

[SmokedSalmon]

someone should have informed me of the poor scaling. if I could go back 2 years when choosing which subjects I want to do for yr 11.... I wouldn't have chosen ancient history.

 

[Harimau]

Definitely, i would have chosen to do chemistry instead...

 

[Leon585]

you shut up iwan man, u fecking owned it!

 

[malayz_angel]

Lol...tough choice for me...most likely failing (and probably really failing) chemistry or getting possible Band 5/6's in ancient. The scaling can't make that much difference possible, right?

 

[Wiggum]

If you get band 6 well maybe not, but band 5...you've heard it already. Yeah i would have done chem if it wasn't for this either.

 

[malayz_angel]

Well there go my dreams of getting into...well ANYTHING!

 

[Leon585]

shut up malayz, your like getting nuts marks at your school. Just another fecking sympathy addict!
