How to practise this subject

These practice suggestions are editorial guidance from Australian Study Resources.

  1. Choose a current course task with this focus: historical methodology: primary and secondary sources, origin, purpose, context, reliability, contestability, omission and gaps. Identify a source’s origin, purpose and historical context. Use a specific detail to explain its value for the question being asked.
  2. Choose a current course task with this focus: core elements: political, social, economic and cultural structures and practices. Compare two accounts of an event. Explain what they corroborate, where they diverge and what other evidence would help resolve the difference.
  3. Choose a current course task with this focus: egypt: Mentuhotep II, Hatshepsut, Akhenaten, Horemheb, Ramesses II. Develop an argument about cause, change or significance. Select dated evidence and explain how it supports each part of your judgement.
  4. Record the specific point you missed, write a corrected response, and attempt another question that requires the same skill. Check older material against your current course before reusing it.

Plan your next practice session

Choose one response from your practice sequence. Identify its main claim, underline the evidence and explain how that evidence answers the question. Revise any claim that is broader than its support.
