the personalities questions were not particularly friendly...

i think they were harder than the last 2 years.

none the less, a great exam, i think i went well.

yeah.. the majority of our class left early.. I think one of the last to leave early left about 20mins early.. There was 3 of us left at the end..

Yeah... Personalities was a bit different.. but they were simply different ways of wording past questions.

Themistocles and Miltiades question was interesting.. in the fact that they integrated 2 personalities to talk about in the one essay for Greek 500-440..

I loved it too.
but my hand hurts.

We only have four people in our class - three of us were there to the end. The fourth person left about an hour and half into it. I dont think she liked it much. But the rest of us did.

I loved the essay questions. I dont think many people at my
school studyed the delian league into any detail, but i am
sooooooo glad i took the time in the holidays to learn it well.

I ended up doing 7 pages on each, which is very good for me seeing im a slow writer.

I didnt get to finish the last part of Akhenaten, only did a page, which is terible for a 10 marker, but besides that i think i did well.

:/

Yeah, that actually was quite a decent exam afterall. Didn't even need to sacrifice any animals to Mithras.. Works for me.

The most awkward part question-wise was Hatshepsut, because the wording threw me off at first.. Ended up having to re-do my first answer after I'd realised that I had been writing about the wrong thing. But generally, the questions were nice and general, and so I can say that whilst some are eevil, Ancient History teachers as a whole are not. :p

I did Agrippina II, Minoans, Political Revolution in Rome 133-78BC and Egyptian Society.
I thought that they asked all the past paper questions which i did but didn't focus on...
