seeing as though the Ancient history exam is in a few days i was wondering how confident (or worried) everyone is. Personally i will be able to do certain questions but for sure do not know the entire syllabus.....

my main concern is forgetting quotes.

we have to know heaps of quote for 4 different topics (though some DO overlap) and i think that's a joke.

wait til i work my way up the board of studies and make sure i CHANGE THE ANCIENT SYLLABUS!!! :p

I hardly quote in history....I mostly paraphrase - but I remember easy quotes like "if you have no business in the business of Athens, you have no business in Athens at all" or something like that.

I think I'll be fine for the personality and society section.....I'm hoping I'll be okay for the Augustus and the julio claudains...but I know I'm doomed for the GPW part... :(

I'm not feeling very confident at all. There's just sooo much to remember...

As for the course, it's getting changed after our year. they finally realised how inept and stupid it was. :'( Why not last year?!?!?!

Well 3/4 of my topics are Egyptian related...and thats great since you can discuss quite a lot when you have a wide knowledge of different Dynasties etc...

But i'm sort of worried about how i'll go in the Greek section, since that is like the odd one out, and i'm just hoping that there will be a good battle related question, since politics is iffy when it comes to me...

About 10 hrs to go. Here's hoping for nothing left field in the minoan section, such as "name two minoan villas". And hopefully there will be a question on the Senate for the Fall of the Roman Republic and a question on administration or building for NK Egpyt. Anything else and i'm DOOOOOMED!

Plus isn't it sad when you start counting down towards the exam? Kinda like counting down towards our DOOOOOM!

Anywho, the ancient history exam is to symbolise the end of the HSC for me, and the beginnings of er....playstation? Shoe shopping? Ah heck, anything's good!
