General Thoughts: Ancient History (5 Viewers)

[BabzBrah]

Thought I did alright the worst question for me was probably the 10 marker for Xerxes but should still hopefully get 7/8 HOPEFULLY Happier then expected.

 

[Amaranth_]

Fuck. Lol.

I knew I was going to fail this exam. Hoping for 50 Raw. I cannot... get more.

Fkn Historical period they ask two questions I know jackshit about

I only chose question A for historical period because it gave me a quote

 

[Mutant Kitty]

Well of course anything less than 85% is achievable.

I'm having a bad day.... Shhh lol.

Also, I'll just say this on here....
I'm new to this site, but I get a strong vibe that people either say they did terrible or claim that they did wonderful attempting to 1 up the last person. Also, so many people take it so serious... I mean, a singular question whether worth 1 mark or 25 marks won't make or break the next step of your education nor your life.
Just relax... People make mistakes, and getting a band higher than someone is hardly indicative of intelligence or aptitude. It probably means that you either studied more, you're knowledgeable, or had an exam which suited you.

1. Exam didn't suit me
2. Studied for the wrong stuff

P&H: 16/25
Sparta: 18/25
Personality: 14/25 lolz
Historical period: 5/25 llol

My teacher didn't really teacher us anything on Augustus, wrote 1.5 probably will get a 2/25 IF lucky

Sparta was ok..but Kings and 'government' specifically kinda threw me off

Cleo was ok

Pompeii horrible
Didn't do as well as I would've like to, but for studying 3 topics the morning before I did ok.

 

[Queenroot]

For those who did Sparta, what were your points for the Dual Kingship question?

- To maintain Eunomia
- Diarchy
- made decisions with gerousia

LOLZ PROBABLY ALL WRONG

 

[zhusalmz]

what about Pompeii multiple choice - I put AADDCD

also sparta king thing - if there was a war 1 would go out to command other would stay and govern + the bullshit about having 2 maintained order as opposed to 1 and some religious shit

 

[Mutant Kitty]

I thought that the Old Kingdom Egypt questions were great...
Leisure, Heb-Sed, Saqqara and then the economy.

 

[knacknick23]

I personally think I screwed up section 4 badly... BADLY. I prepared for the completely wrong things, memorised essays on Egyptian Pharoahs, their religious reforms, building reforms etc. Then foreign relations? >< I only had general knowledge and that definitely wasn't sufficient...
Also my section 2, I made stupid mistakes. I forgot what the thesmophoria was... UGH I REALISED AFTERWARDS... SO STUPID.

Is it still possible to get a 90+ Atar if you get like, a band 4 in ancient? 10 units.

hmm I had something like:

- In times of war, one would lead the army, the other would stay back and attempt to maintain order
- Equality of perspective/judgement
- Ensured sharing of duties such as sacrificial duty in festivals...

 

[SuperMike96]

P+H: I think about 20/25 give or take 2. The last question I think I got 7-8/10
Athens in the time of Pericles: 19-22/25
Pericles: 17-19-25
Julio-Claudians: 17-19/25

I probably did much worse than I thought. That usually happens when I think I've done alright.

Of course... I have 11 units and will get a band 4 for English Advanced but overall probably get an atar between 85-90. Just do really well in other things and you'll be fine.

In saying that, I hate how the purpose of school is to get an ATAR that is high as opposed to education itself... An ATAR only effects the immediate prospects, and nobody should grant a number reason over their confidence.

Are you willing to swap marks with me for a set price? ty

 

[kalaniman1]

Would definitely like to know the julio claudian questions !

 

[Focus is Key]
