good luck! :D our question was something like "Explain the collapse of Weimar democracy in the lead up to 1933, using the economic implications of the Treaty of Versailles as a focal point" or something. i cant remember the exact words, only my reaction (horror) because i didnt really study that aspect much, lol. i thought it was all gonna be on hitler... but i hope you go well tomorrow, :)
damn what a perfect question lol. well there are usually two parts to the modern history essay: nazi germany and the weimar era, didn't you get a choice? anyhoo have to cram hard tonight :(

Our Weimar ques was "Evaulate the success of the Weimar republic up until the depression" or something like that....which was really easy :D hehehe..the nazi Germany ques was horrible.
On the other hand, I totally stuffed up the WWI section because I only studied the homefront .. oh well. Albert Speer question was so predictable tho.
Good luck hopeles5ly~!

had drama and ext.1 today... drama was pretty good, althought i think i could have done better in the australian question, thinking about it. but my hand kept cramping up, lol. my writing looked like a chicken wrote it. Extension wasnt as bad as i thought it was going to be, i miraculously actually managed to write a long structured response that was vaguely sophisticated, whee!

Yesterday, I had Chemistry and Mathematics Extension 1. Chemistry was alright, nothing too hard. Mathematics Extension 1 was quite easy but I know I made heaps of silly mistakes...:( That's what I hate about easy tests, you're more susceptible to make awkward errors which piss you off more than getting silly mistakes in a hard test.....
Today, I had Physics. The test was alright except for missing components of the data sheet!!!

I was the only one in my whole damn grade to have all of my exams squished into one week (the half yearly exam period was supposed to be weeks 10 and 11). But it was alright - I found chemistry, music, english, math2u and economics quite alright and I was extremely satisfied after my chem n maths ones. Physics was a different story - my teacher decided not to test the damn syllabus so he kinda screwed us over a little...but hey what can you do?

I had Gen Maths first on Wednesday. Nice and easy, but I forgot everything about home loans, so fucked up that question and a few other random ones, I think.
English AoS on Thurs, rushed through my narrative and it didn't exactly have much of a journey in it, but I'm used to screwing up the stories in exams.
IPT this morning, it was very good -- exact questions from half yearlies I had done but no-one else had, just forgot the diagram and the multiple choice was iffy.
Economics was the worst exam I've ever done. I wish I never picked it.
