The first 2 questions for France were exactly like practice ones I had done :) I was happy with those! Blanked on the Vendee Rebellion for 10 minutes so I had to come back to it! In my textbook that event takes up 2/300 pages!! It annoys me when they do that! I was hoping for the Civil Constitution of the Clergy or the Champ de Mars incident :/ But I think I still think I answered it well.

I enjoyed the China section more than I thought. Essay question was very straightforward :)
Overall I think I think pretty well :D

I really like France questions but blanked out on entire of French so I couldn't do those questions. I would of liked someone than the Vendee Rebellion but the document was good to answer though :D. I really liked this year exam :D

I'm feeling pretty good.

The extended responses were classic, and I've actually done 2 practice exams that used McPhee's extract on the Vendee rebellion - while I didn't remember what I had previously answered, it was nice to have a sense of familiarity. Didn't particularly like the Russia essay topic but it's not like it was terrible. The Russia graphic was okay, although I would have preferred it to ask us more specifically about what exactly caused the October revolution. While I didn't love all of the questions I think I'm happy with how I went.

So glad it's over, but I am going to miss Revs!
That great, i'm really glad you are!. Wow that's a bonus for you. Russia seem really difficult to me on section B. Yeah I guess this will be the year where all the questions were good but at least you like a majority of it. I am not happy at all with how I went but I certainly deserved to do crap

Oh I definitely found Russia difficult, you're not alone. I wasn't too fond of the graphic - uhm, what that thing in the background a robot? I was trying to figure out if it was perhaps the cruiser Aurora and I'm just like WHAT?!

I'm okay with how I went. I can't bring myself to analyse each part or put a grade on my performance, but I'm so relieved its over! I finished, answered every question and chucked in some historiography and stats so hey.

Russia Section A was hard, I found it really difficult, but I brought it home with China Section B, thought I killed it, hoping for 65+

And for anyone that wasn't sure, that Russia graphic was on the October takeover on the Winter Palace, didn't like the graphic so I went with China, which was great.

Russia was a really hard this year, I hope you do well with China! I'm glad that you felt you killed it so you would be expecting a 65+ :D

To clarify, that strange machine-life figure in the Winter Palace graphic in Russia Section B was a robot... VCAA used a remake of the original photo in which somebody had photoshopped in a robot. Obviously a mistake, but wow!

But even minus the robot, the graphic was difficult :/

Completely flunked Part A - Russia..... rambled with little detail   :(
Part B China I felt really good about though - hopefully the examiners think so too!
What mark is roughly needed for a 32+?

I presume that everyone found Russia diffcult so don't beat yourself for it. That's good mate at least you did great on China :D. Hmmm I am taking a guess but B or B+ but if high 30's maybe High A and or low A+??
