I didn't even have a choice in the matter at my school.

Probably something along the lines of OMGWTFBBQ because I'd have somehow failed while working so hard.

YES. SO VERY YES. It's hyped so much...and it's not really that stressful. Of course, I did like eight hours of study a day for every week of the holidays (and successively less with every exam done), so it may be related to practice.

National Studies: 8 Speer: 6 Conflict in Europe: 7

I think it went well, particularly in the personality questions. B was basically a rehash of A with some analysis thrown in-we didn't even have to mention the whole 'penitent Nazi' deal with Speer. The essay questions were great-I saw the conflict in North Africa one and went YES because I knew...

I didn't study, although I worked on my History Extension major work research and draft. Unless you're really into English, I don't think you can really make a start on the texts, because the willpower will likely not be there.

The kidney structure question threw a lot of people at my school, because we'd concentrated on the nephron, rather than the kidney itself. So most people did a diagram of both the kidney and the nephron. I tried to do the kidney only. I probably mislabelled some parts, but I think the functions...

I feel vaguely set for everything aside from English. More revision, then.

It has also given me a tendency to go into violent spasms at the mention of the word 'belonging'.

SO I've been making notes on the debates surrounding Tacitus. So far, so good. Unfortunately, I lost the photocopy of Perceval's writing on Tacitus' attitudes to the principate. This sucks, because it would have some nice juicy quotes, and in my experience, history essay markers get raging...

Most of my year has finished trials-bar me and the rest of History Extension (and Maths Extension). So everyone's going YAY TRIALS ARE OVER and I'm going I HATE YOU ALL.

I want Arceus to walk behind me. Then I can be all "SUCK IT, ATHEISTS!"

My areas of study are the same as the OPs except my class did Albert Speer for the personality, and Germany 1919-1939 for the national study. I felt I went alright, particularly in National Studies, since, by a stroke of luck, I'd be concentrating on the Nazi rise to power the previous day as I...

Although, considering NK's recent habit of firing missiles in the general direction of Japan and the US, they aren't doing themselves any diplomatic favours.

I hope the book being thrown is the biggest encyclopedia ever. Seriously, the woman's a veritable psycho. I hate to think what her kids will end up as.
