    does anyone else have random songs in their head during exams??

    no songs for me but the primary school next door has a tendancy to bang very large drums right on cue every exam, little brats! i know its not their fault but even if you could cope with the sound it is so out of rythm that its drives you mentally insane and the drumming is accompanied by other...

    General Thoughts: Ancient History 2005

    i thought it was a really sound exam... it wasn't 'easy' in the sense of the word but rather it was effective at challenging you and allowing you to demonstrate what you knew about ur chosen area. i thought it was really good because the questions were not a give away, you actually had to think...

    Module B The tragedy of King Lear

    i doubt that, the kids that had knowledge of the productions would probably have had an advantage... you really needed them to support the idea of universal themes and to demonstrate how them text has been appropriated to serve updated agendas. without the productions the response wouldnt have...

    How Much Did U Write?

    just a reminder everyone, it all comes down to quality not quantity... you could write 15 pages sure but if its a hell of a lot of bull then they are not going to give you more marks than someone who wrote 6 pages that directly answered the question..... also everyone has different sized writing...

    how did you do in the ancient history trials???

    cos i had to teach myself the topic... i think i did well considering, my problem was that i didnt have enough quotes, i only lost the marks in the last Q cos we do the short answers for Sparta not the essay... it was annoying though cos in an in class assessment which was an essay for Sparta i...
