Compilation of Available Sources in HSC Past Papers

[owidjaja]

Guess who's bored on a Saturday night? (More like Sunday morning but minor details...) So as Modern History students, we kinda get the short end of the stick in terms of practicing our responses for the source questions in Section 1- most of the sources are awaiting copyright so it's difficult for us to find a past paper with available sources- plus, it's too bothersome to go through every single past paper and find what sources are available.

Well guess who decided to compile a list of available sources?

Below is a list of sources that are available, along with the short answer questions that correspond with the sources (some of these sources can be adaptable to other questions):

2017:
Source: A, B, D
Question: 8

2016:
Source: A, B, C
Question: 8

2015:
Source: A, B, C, D (all sources are available)
Question: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

2014:
Source: B, D, E
Question: No questions align with sources but all share the theme of trench warfare so these sources can be adaptable

2013:
Source: A, B, C, D, E, F (all sources are available)
Question: 7, 8

2012:
Source: D
Question: N/A

2011:
Source: D
Question: N/A

2010:
Source: A, B, E, F
Question: 8

2009:
Source: A, B, C
Question: 1, 2

2008:
Source: A, B, D
Question: 1, 2

2007:
Source: A, B, C, D (all sources are available)
Question: 1, 2, 3

2006:
Source: A, B, C, D (all sources are available)
Question: 1, 2, 3

2005:
Source: A
Question: 1 a).

2004:
Source: A, C, D
Question: 1 a), 3

2003:
Source: A (1), B, C, D
Question: 1 (all but b), 2, 3

2002:
Source: A, B, C, D (all sources are available)
Question: 1, 2, 3

2001:
Source: A, B, C, D (all sources are available)
Question: 1, 2, 3

So here it is: a list of past papers with available sources and their corresponding questions. I hope this compilation makes studying a bit easier. If you happen to finish all these questions (firstly, be careful not to burn yourself out!), then either mix and match the sources, albeit you're gonna have to read the sources in advance to see if the source fits with the question. If not, try to match them with existing Trial Paper questions. Alternatively, go to the syllabus dot points and add a BOSTES (or NESA) verb at the beginning of the dot point to make your own short answer question. For example:

Syllabus dot point: the reasons for the stalemate on the Western Front.
New question: Explain the reasons for stalemate on the Western Front.

Anyways, happy studying! (It's almost 1am now so I better sleep )

Hope this helps!
