So we all know it is very easy to get practice exam papers for Further, Bio, Chem, Spesh etc but I was wondering, does anyone how I might be able to purchase/download exam papers for Humanities subjects ?

Your subjects don't have resources, it's best to look at the study design and expand your knowledge in relation to it. Nothing else you can do.

Some subjects they simply don't exist. For international studies, I could find 3 company exams and 1 from from Engaged Education for free, and I had to look really hard for them. Ask around on the forums and ask your teacher and friends at school, someone is bound to have at least a couple.

I did insight 2011 in class and had a look at the engage one too, but you found two others as well? For humanities subjects, as said above it's very much to do with how well you know the subject rather than how many prac exams you spam (this goes for all subjects of course, but even more so for humanities) towards the end of the year my inter teacher got us into groups to brainstorm possible exam questions; as you become more familiar with your subjects this will be useful too

There's a shop that sells vce study guides in the walk-through arcade inside the emirates building across from the CAE.  Not sure about the quality, but iirc they seemed to have humanities booklets with exam-style questions in them.  It probly can't hurt to go and take a squiz next time you're in. SSRC or something, they're called.

Write your own. Seriously. When I finish revising a subject, I write out a whole lot of questions in the front of an A4 book and then go through the rest of the book answering them. Works really well :)

For Renaissance Italy check out the HTAV site. They have practice exams you can purchase.
Not sure if renaissance is similar to revolutions in exam format, if it is then you can basically write your own questions thereby exam. The hard part is finding documents to analyze.

Yeah, the thing is that they suck hardcore.  The guy who owns it is a tool and a liar.  I would suggest you avoid this place.

Russ, I sent it.


Also for people looking to grab a few study guides there is a bookshop called 'Landmark' It's a 2 minute walk from Strathmore station.
