Cramming is the way to go. I promised myself I would'nt leave study for this exam period to the last minute but I don't know why on earth I thought I could make myself do it. I crammed the entire Peloponnesian war from 9pm till 1am last night, and YAY they had a good question! I studied really...

I did the US involvement in the military coup in Chile, 1973. Lots of fun, all very serious conspiracy stories (actually most of them were true), paying out Nixon and Kissinger, then paying out Hersh for paying out Kissinger....nah, in all seriousness, I actually enjoyed writing the thing, it...

OMG only 3! I guess if you're doing extension you like history, not going to throw it away....I'm getting intimidated though. Oh well, at least we're probably the only centre in the state doing the oh-so-thrilling Western Imperialism.

Who said that one?

I doubt they'd do the history wars. All the sources from previous years have been pretty obscure to make sure that you actually engage with the text rather than present a pre-prepared debate on whether Windschuttle or Reynolds is right. It wouldn't give you much to work with, it's pretty specific.

Let's just say I had a lot of sleepless nights. Literally - the night before extension2 was due I had 2 and a half hours sleep. :) But it was all worth it. Apart from the fact that they're the subjects I love and the ones I get the most out of since I enjoy them and enjoy getting creative, I...

correction: "knew" one are from case study....that was back in August when we did the trials and I crammed. All that knowledge has subsequently disappeared. :(

Mine would have been about....1120 for personality, 1000 for NK Essay, 1300 for Peloponnesian War essay....

Me too, plus Tyldesley backs it up pretty well and Hayes and Gardiner were pretty biased against poor ol Hatty.

Yeah the only one who really pressures me is myself...I'll be devastated if I get under 90, and pretty disappointed if it's under 94. I know it's silly but I did really well all year and I guess I just built up my own expectations. Plus I want to get into a course which is 95, but that's not...

Not that this is at all relevant, but....I do those exact subjects.

Ok....about 7 hours till I'd like to be in bed, that's plenty of time right? *looks worried*. I had modern on tuesday and ancient today, haven't looked at my case study since trials and did terrible back then cos I can only identify one area of debate in our case study....we never went through...

Both...loving it. Kinda. If it wasn't for the fact that the BOS decided to put ALL THREE exams in the same week! *seethes* If you squint, BOS kinda looks like BS.....

What's the bet they pull out some harshly obscure source with wording no one understands...oh well, *glass half full* *glass half full* *glass half full* I'm thinking positive.....

Yes, but hoplites are generally spartiates

Oh and for number 2, was that supposed to be dealing with whether Thutmose and Hatshepsut were rivals and that whole debate, or with something else? I wasn't sure what "relationship" was referring to.

Not sure....I always have difficulty interpreting the personality questions, I'm never sure if I'm actually answering the question they were asking. I worte 8 pages and used lots of sources, but I found it hard to know what the question was looking for. For the third question about her...

Historical period was best for me....prob since I didn't start studying for it till last night, luckily I had crammed for the question they asked, so it was all fresh in my mind.

Yeah I just got a 4 page booklet when I ran out of space.

Personality:8 Historical period: 9 Society: The book they gave us plus 3 more pages Additional historical period: about 7...ran out of time
