General Thoughts: Ancient History (5 Viewers)

Hey guys, congrats for making it through the exam. Just one question: for the m/c question referring to which structures have been found at Pompeii and not Herculaneum, what did you guys get? I though it was D) as I believe no temple have been uncovered at Herculaneum; I have know idea. Overall, I found Sparta and Pompeii the easiest, the other two sections weren't too bad but I stuffed up on my expression.
Cheers.

i don't remember this question

I enjoy sex.
Does anybody feel like some?

Seriously though, I live in the Blue Mountains and I had no idea how competitive and up tight so many HSC students are... People shouldn't take life so seriously.

@lina3
was no argument, he conformed followed AII + TIV with focus on hunter pharoah initially (equiv to victory in battlefield maat etc) despite time of peace(ignoring the 1 Nubia campaign) and obviously diplomacy - still portrayed himself as smiter of Asiatics kosno stela victory stela etc then I just spoke about the diplomatic marriages, no show of force in western Asia complaisance in administration then it just got progressively weaker

after my intro I did a paragraph about the Hyksos and Ahmose/Kamose + TIII (would I get marks for that even tho they aren't in our period?)

what did you guys write for the difference on the effect of the eruption on the two cities of vesuvius?

Something along the lines of:
Pompeii: Earth tremors before eruption, rain of pumice in early stages, some of the six surges do not reach pompeii, sixth surge most severe. Covered by 90-110 cm of volcanic material.
Herculaneum: No evidence of seismic activity before eruption, no rain of pumice (just a light sprinkling of dust), impacted violently by the six surges. Buried under 23 m of volcanic material.

I put the one with the forum since it hasn't been excavated.

hahaha YES, some kids are so determined on getting a 99 atar so they study all day every day and will probably fail to get that, really bitchy bunch of people aswell

Didn't you say you have a girlfriend?

Also, aren't you meant to be burning in a fiery pit right now?

I do Her name is Polly and I love her. My sexual banter is purely for fun.

Funnily enough, my school got evacuated just after my exam yesterday and I could access my school today so BoS made us go. However, of the 8 ancient students only 5 attended... One also left after an hour due to concern about their home.

Most in my school left after an hour because it was too hard... LOL

my intro was fucking terrible but I think i did around 5ish pages - 8 / 9 words per line

People assume that if they don't get a great atar their life won't be good.
There is more than one way to skin a cat...
I have a friend who left school in year 10, he has done an apprenticeship, done some tafe thing, and is now studying engineering. He is 23.
I have another friend got a 70 ATAR. She started in communications and media and then did a transfer over to law half way through this year after graduating high school in 2012.

I mean, try hard and go to school... Study before exams, whatever. But it shouldn't be one's purpose for waking up in the morning.

But I put random crap about building programs into it... to show their upholding of ma'at LOOL so full of crap. They're gonna laugh at my response.

I hope that it aligns well.

Why did you not to history extension?

it's kind of odd, was expecting question on building programs, had a 1100 rote learned essay on it ready to go kinda bummed out.

Guys, what was found in Pomp but not Herc?



Overall a pretty good exam, but would have lost marks in essay for sure.
