How many sources would you need? (1 Viewer)

So I understand that Pompeii and Herculaneum don't need that much, if not none at all.

As for the rest of the Sections, what would you recommend. tbh I have too many sources and I'm trying my best to remember them but mentally, it's impossible to remember ALL the sources within the week that is left, any tips?

It varies. In either the Personality (Xerxes) or Period (Persia) section, I would estimate that I use around 12 - 18 depending on the question. On the other hand, Minoan Crete, our society, remains enigmatic, most of the time we can only write 'it is believed' 'it is possible', etc. So for any one Minoan question, I'm lucky if I manage to put in 7 sources. And unlike Persia, all of these would be archaeological finds.

But remember, a lot of sources and quotes can be used for a variety of essay questions, remember those. It's more likely you'll need them.
