EXAM REVISION

[ursus]

we're doing the war on terror, the iraq invasion, post-september 11, etc.
and the yugoslavian conflict in case we have to talk about a phase 1 conflict and not terrorism.

personally i'd just be happy with an essay about the strengths and lim's of US power coz that would be so much easier than having to crap on about a conflict.

[sonnypls]

if we're doing that, I'm sure we'd be able to include all those examples. so let's say we do war on terror, we can include post 9/11 and iraq invasion ra ra ra.
I need to get 29 for IS. death to me.

[florallover]

i hope they dont ask about the iraq war cause we havent looked at that at all? except as you said, like a really quick example. and i hope they dont ask questions about the views of the causes of terrorism because then i would be stuffed
we had to prepare a pre-2001 essay too, but i hope we dont have to write it. surely they love terrorism too much to do that...
i really want that question too damattore, except would be good if they let you assess more than one state
not sure what i want, my friends got like 45/46 last year so i dont want to be the dud one lol

[sonnypls]

well your friends are freaks okay dear.
some people think that a 35 is shit.
I'm struggling for a 29 and if I don't deliver good bye Monash.
No pressure really I've slacked off and even failed one sac. My sacs are like 50% avg which is like C-?
so yah must ace this exam.

I think what i'll do is answer all of last years ones.
then do the same questions except for different examples;
e.g
criticisms of WORLD BANK rather than IMF etc etc.
I'll post more questions due to my stupidity.

[florallover]

remember you dont need to because global conflict is the essay - need to prepare things on asia-pacific (china) instead
if its for the essay: things like suicide bombing (asymmetrical warfare) counter us military power

[sonnypls]

Oh right, goody. So I shall prepare Globalisation & Internationalism.
and Asia-pacific (china & taiwan) which is Foreign Policy crap then.
hum I'll check 06's exam paper

[bec]

Do you think it's pretty safe to say that we'll get at least one topic on the US or war on terror? Or are all of you revising Rwanda/Kuwait/Somalia etc?

[florallover]

i would prepare something like somalia etc as a backup just in case the us/terror questions have obscure things added to the question
but i reckon there would be something on terrorism and definitely the us

[ursus]

yeah i agree i reckon there'll be maybe 2 questions which include the US and terrorism, and maybe 1 which allows you to talk about just a phase 1 conflict.

fingers crossed, anyway.

Do you know if we can take a dictionary into the exam?

[m08]

Do you know if we can take a dictionary into the exam?

no we cant

[sonnypls]

Outline the major forms of power of one Asia-Pacific state. You must give specific evidence (figures, statistics,
examples) to support your answer.

ANYONE?

[bec]

Well that question was worth 4 marks (2006 VCAA, yeah?) so I would probably give AT LEAST 2 instruments of power with a piece of evidence each.
So with China as an eg, it'd be like,
Military = missiles pointed at Taiwan
Political = UN veto power stopping Taiwan from getting membership status

Actually since they've given so many lines to answer this question, I'd probably put another instrument of power (eco) and give every instrument 2 examples/stats.

Does that help?

[sonnypls]

Sure does! thank you.
