What mark do you think you'll get? (1 Viewer)

[p342i]

The exam was exceptionally good. Looking back at it I can certainly see myself getting 100% but as usualy, when it comes to the difference between 90 and 100, so much rests upon the marker.

Pompeii: 23-25
Minoans: 25
Agrippina: 25
Augustus: 23-25

I wouldnt be surprised if i got low or high nineties, but definetly above ninety. Best exam so far, even better than Advanced english!

core 17-22
society 18-23
personality 16-20
period 20-24

so im guessing anywhere from a low band 4 to a high band 5 (very unlikely)

id be happy with a 78ish.

I did very well in the Pompeii, Sparta and Hannibal sections, all of which I'm hoping for 23-5. But I had a nervous breakdown in my Rome's Wars of Expansion section. I wrote about 8 pages for it, but it was very weak in textual detail. I feel really bad, because I really should of got high 90s in this ancient history exam (my assessment mark was something like 97). The two syllabus points that were asked for the historical period were the only ones I didn't study much... so I did not have many quotes to back up. My hand was shaking so much as I was writing that essay and my mind became blank. It was not as if I didn't know anything about these topics, I just felt so nervous that I couldn't think straight. I couldn't develop any of my points properly... I've never felt like this in any exam EVER! I just couldn't believe it. I've always been able to write really good ancient history essays, but today, I just blew it. I'm praying to scrape band six!

So Pompeii: 23 (1 mark food question, 1 mark final question)
Sparta: 25 (fairly easy, though maybe a stupid mark)
Hannibal: 24 (though maybe 23... hoping 24)
Rome's Wars of Expansion: 18 (if the marking is more lenient than I think, at most 20)

So 90-92 (best case scenario)/100 - ouch. Hopefully my assessment marks will pull it up! I think those who came 2nd after me in the assessment rankings did a lot better than I did, which I hope will pull my exam mark up.

[the hsc sucks]

well, it was a really easy exam and i think i went really well. everything iwas asked about i'd read that morning or the day before, so i didn't have any of those "oh shit" moments. hoping for mid to high 80s but maybe, just maybe will have used enuogh sources and problems with evidence blah blah blah to possibly get 90s. id like that but not counting on it. really good test tho, heaps better than english

Pompeii/Herc - ~20
Sparta - ~22
Agrippina - 18
Julio-Claudians - 15 (I did a crap essay)

I'm aiming for Band 5 at least. Hopefully scaling might push me around there or higher.

core- 14-19 (my worst, i missed the 4m question and sort of fudged the 8 and 10)
society (minoans)- 23+
personality (Hatshepsut)- 23+
period (Persian Wars, 500-440BC)- 23+

over all i really loved the exam, i love ancient history and i rock at if, if i say so myself. i semi-stuffed up in the Pompeii section, darn it, but it was always my worst one, and the others all went awesome. if i didn't screw up too badly in the core section i should get band 6 *fingers crossed*. if i hadn't F-ed that one up i would have gotten around mid 90s.

I thought it was a brilliantly easy exam- not ridiculously easy but enough to make u think but still come up with loads of relevant info. Here are my predictions:

Pompeii/Herc: 24-25
Sparta: 22-24
Xerxes: 23-24
Greek world 500-440BC: 24
