My teachers are god dam psychics, everything they predicted of P&H, Peloponnesian war and Sparta was spot on. Apparently it's now their 9th year in a row where they have guessed right.
o.k.

Haha guess so :p My cohort was literally so so happy afterwards. My topics= P+H, Pericles (Personality), Athenian Society in the time of Pericles
Yeah, I do none except core lol

I derived whatever I could from my mind. But pretty sure I got it mixed up with some other pharaoh. awkward lol

Dw it was an educated guess, for example in Sparta we were told to do notes on Social Structure and Economy for a 15 mark response.

@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?)
Wow, while I didn't do the question myself it sounds spot on! I wouldn't say adding a lot of contextual background will give you an advantage over someone who doesn't, but as long as after writing that you still answer the question adequately it should be fine.

Hatshepsut (a) was tricky since you had to talk about her background before she became pharaoh (regency, queen consort etc..). It was easy though bahah. inb4 97/100 lost 3 marks in Mycenae cos leisure activities ar3 c00l.

idk cause your username is asian person and your teachers know everything in the exam. Also, you're prepared.

So are you from a selective/private/public school?

ahahah poor us! i'm happy too! Hopefully scaling and our ranks save us!
But everyone in my class left an hour early... that's how bad it was lol. I stayed in there trying to write BS.
Got ear fucked. I'm ranked 3rd but I don't think it will save me
