Re: How was modern Exam?

yar. finished the whole exam with 16 minutes to go. I thought i spent to much time on the first part, but obviously i was fine. I'm still in the English exam frame of mind, you know? Write 56 words a second just to finish.
My time management is horrible.

Haha my handwriting is like a doctors after an hour of writing.

Re: Howd you find it?

the US declared war on the 6th april 1917, in 1918 they sent another million troops but there were americans on the western front in 1917, just not many.

yeah exactly...
i think some people overthought the question, which you don't need to do for the 5 five marks because it's pretty much basic comprehension or in this case reading off a graph

Re: Howd you find it?

Pretty good exam. I started off by planning my answers and that took about 10 mintues. And then Personality Study. Pretty good q's imo. Then Germany - totalitarian Q ftw I looked over my essay for that in the morning, but didn't really expect it.

And then Conflict in the Pacific. Gosh, lol. Strategies of BOTH sides from 1937-1951.... it was like telling a narrative/story.

And then Core Q. Rushed it but still good... nice sources

LENI IS NOT A LOSER.

yeah she is. (comeback of the year haha)
i said she was in relation to the whole nazi involvement.. she came off looking like a loser. Not in the "hey that kid picks his nose and wears rabens... What a loser" sense but the fact all her work lost artistic credibility so she lost that aspect of her life. something like that.
my brain melted.

Re: How was modern Exam?

Is she was linked to the holocaust she is a loser.

but if not carry on xD

not directly but she supported Hitler. The topic made me angry.. but made for good debates in class. Most ended with "Man Hitler was a dickhead" Pretty intellectual

haha i forgot my pens for one of my trials then the ones i borrowed ran out. Learned a valuable lesson that day, dont turn up to an exam without pens and then expect your friends to lend you the pens with ink in them.
