Anyone take history? Hows International hist and SEAhistory???
International history paper today was really easy compared to the previous SEA paper.
SEA paper was really surprising since the same subthemes tested last year were repeated this year. Naturally there would be a tendency to 'spot' questions and focus on other topics and that kind of got some people into trouble. SBQ was also unexpected - on the AFC - many people were predicting the Cambodian Crisis or economic integration.
International history paper today was relatively straightforward. The only surprise was that it was easier than expected.
yeah fortunately i predicted paper 1 correctly... the Japanese economic miracle and China ad a economic major power... but i don noe how to do qus 2... my ans seems funny...
For paper 2 was okok... yeah for paper 2 it was kind of same for last year...but manage to do bah...lol
but because i got not enuff time...i wrote rubbish at the end of 15mins... haha... i hope they would not penalise marks for bad english language bah hahaha
I know alot of people did questions 4,5,6.
For SEA I really messed it up bad haha. Spent 1.5 hrs on SBQ alone. No idea how I lost track of time. Left one essay practically blank =\ ... Yeah I walked out of the examination hall feeling ****. Which is fortunate that paper 1 was so much easier, otherwise I might have failed.
haha 1 qus blank!!! thats alot! lol... i manage to hit L4 for SBQ... haha then the rest my enlgish was very bad... cos i write alot until i don even understand... so yeah... hope they can understand my 'english' LOL but SEA was hard... manage to do the ideology part wan... the conflict thingy... this yr cold war quite challenging leh...
I'm confident of at least B-grade.
Of coz A would be nice.
Yea the ideology nationalism question was abit weird...
its alright la... but the idology is juz only 1 of the small factors... still got other factors that cause the conflicts... lol... but i worried about the International hist paper 1... qus 2 wan cuban missile crisis and Korean War compare and contrast this 2... LOL
other than the cuban missile crisis qsn, everything i predicted came out, including source base... wooh.
ya the essay qsns were easier than expected, esp the china and japan qsn.
the other 3 i'm not too sure. the phrasing of the qsn sounds weird.
e.g. qsn 2, how does the Berlin Blockade lead to the Globalisation of the Cold War in Europe in 1955.
so i suppose you are only allowed to talk about european affairs from 1949-1955, up to the formation of warsaw pact? you can't talk about the stalemate of Cold War in Europe, which lead to the superpowers seeking more active involvement in Asia and Latin America, (which is wad the globalisation of the Cold War is all about).
qsn 3 is weirder, about whether the korean war has more significant in the globalisation of the Cold war compared to the Cuban Missile crisis.
so what do you compare about?
qsn 6 is less ambiguous, but i can only crap out the essay....
korea vs cuba ... use dimension based structure or time based structure.
political, ideological, military
or
immediate, long term effects

they are not really comparable side-by-side what, since the issues involved are of relatively different nature.
lol comparing that US won a sounding idelogical victory in the repatriation issue... as compared to cuban misslie crisis... then say that Korean war drawn several Big powers into attention include china, UN bla bla bla... hehe... thats wad i wrote in qu3 btw i did qus 3... not 2 opps...
basically how many pages do you guys tend to write per qsn?
haha each qus... 3 1/2 pages... only SBQ 2 pages max...
