Revs Exam Discussion 2012

[osgood]

Haha, I've finally found another person who finds France more manageable than Russia! I'm crossing my fingers that the October Revolution won't be on this year's exam since it made an appearance last year..!
But like Saheh, I'm doing the essay on Russia- couldn't imagine compacting the new French society into a two-three page essay 0_0

[s.ay]

Wow see I'm the exact opposite haha! I love Russia, not so keen on France, so good on you, osgood and dejan! Saheh, I'm with you and yeah, like primary quotes from the people at the time, I just shove them in whenever I can haha

Yes even my teacher says she can't understand how I am unable to understand the more less complicated revolution like Russia. If it appeared last year I'm sure it won't show again. Definitely my plan is to answer Russia and then the French . I really need to know events before the feb rev and how those events caused the revolution

[Dejan]

Ah for extended responses, I just have a topic sort of sentence, then firstly, secondly, thirdly. Stats and dates, with a primary quote or two if it suits. Then a sentence at the end to tie it back to the question. Haha yeah I didn't know how hard revs was until every person kept telling me how scared I must be feeling for the exam eep

Ooooo quotes!? Like historians of historical figures!? Yeah I do it kinda the same

I love revs, although haven't studied for it yet but when it comes closer I will begin. I'm using my timeline I have created to study and just keep reading them over and over. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE RUSSIAN REVS IS ABOUT, IT'S SO HARD AND DIFFICULT FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND . For french I pretty much know everything really really well and I am very confident 100% for French in the exam . The essay is which what I am scared about the most, the rest of the questions are not to difficult to answer hehe

Omg serious!? France is soo dense I'm spending all this week going over it
I'm doing the essay for Russia coz its pretty straightforward

Yeah!, I love the french rev the most, Russian seems really dry and boring to me tbh. I probably know more about the French rev than all my class mates in History I really feel haha but i'm not sure of this. My teacher even suggested I help my class mates with French . It's going to be so hard to remember the dates and historian views

Any of you guys know the A+ cutoff for last years exam? Very curious to know

[osgood]

It was 118/160..which makes 59/80 if my poor math skills serve me correctly
Cannot decide if that is ample or little room for error..

[Dejan]

Not to bad, assuming how hard the exam is, I want a 40+ in this but my SAC's are really poor

[s.ay]

hmmm I'm so confused still, as to how I am faring with my scores for trials... Revs is such a hard subject to feel confident about haha

[saheh]

Yeah I'm the same e.claire
I haven't gotten marks on my trials, just feedback where to improve so I have no idea what marks I'm sitting on :/ now idea if I'm in the 40 range or not... Do you guys know what marks are roughly needed for 40+

[Dejan]

GA 1: 85/100 A+,  88/100 A+, GA3 118/160 A+ so this what you need in for 40+

[saheh]

Geez that's hard work :/ eeeep!

[Dejan]

I know ayy, my sacs are like C to B weep , no way getting 40+

[s.ay]

Is the above for 40+ or just the bench mark for A+'s though? This is where I get confused And even though I've been getting marks back, I still don't know how good they are in comparison to the rest of the state etc. I guess thats just when you have to try your best and hope for the best in return

Just the cut off sorry for not mentioning it, Yeah that's all we can do and mostly study our bums off.

[Dejan]

Interesting, only 1% of people score full marks for the essay
