Today, 9:33 AM  | Re: Section III - Personalities I did Cleopatra. I was stoked with the questions, they were exactly what I wanted. I'm pretty happy with how I went, so hopefully, I can get a good mark. |

Yesterday, 11:55 PM | Re: Section III - Personalities Hatshepsut was allright. The 10-marker was unique and something I've never seen before, content wise it was allright. The 15-marker was predictable and quite content-packed. |

16 Nov 2009, 7:04 PM | Re: Section III - Personalities i did JC. It was my weakest out of all the other topics and snap, it was easy. The 15 marker was so broad you could literally talk about anything. |

10 Nov 2009, 5:54 PM | Re: Section III - Personalities arghh... comparatively better than most of the sections but sigh.. i did Agrippina II and part b was fine, i studied for that but part a asked to explain her death, HER DEATH! i studied the whole of her life and left out the one minor end of the topic! sigh.. i still dont know how she died... just remember sources being a little vague.. i said that attempts were made on her life such as the loose plank into the boat but ultimately i said that she was stabbed to death.. lol I made my own history up.. sigh

Today, 1:29 PM | Re: Section III - Personalities Hatshepsut. 10 marker was fine. I wrote a fair bit for that one and I quite liked it. 15 marker was a bit weird. I didn't like it. Last question I did in the whole exam. Just kept writing about everything I knew about Hatshepsut and what she did as her role as "a successful New Kingdom pharoah" (generic line I write in every Hatshepsut essay). I was never fan of this topic, to be honest. I did the best I could do with these questions and I think I did fairly well though.

Today, 12:09 PM | Re: Section III - Personalities Hatshepsut i thought was fairly good. The 10 marker was different- i just linked her mortuary temple with scenes from Punt and divine birth to religious and politics- legitimisation to throne? i Hope that is right And for the 15m i talked about her contributions and how later pharaohs copied her??? |

11 Nov 2009, 11:00 PM | Re: Section III - Personalities Agrippina the Younger.Questions were EASY.A bit difficult to get 10 and 15 marks though.For her death, I wrote how she had hired Seneca for nero and ironically he betrayed her and helped Nero kill her. Wrote about collapsable boat and stabbing blah blah got about 4 pages.And for the interpretations just talked about the context of her time and women and ancient and modern sources and how Tactius was bias because he hated the julio claduians. |
