Whats the best way to study for ancient history? excuse this if its been posted before.

And are the HSC Excel books any help? (or can you suggest books/sites that may help?)

I'm doing::

Personality:: Aggripina the Younger
Society:: Sparta
Society:: Rome Augustus - Titus
Time Period:: Persian Wars

those HSC Excel books are not that good for history in general

a good summary of the subject is the pamela bradley series

there are many ways to study for ancient...you need notes right?
the best study is always personal note taking covering all aspects of the syllabus, and then have past HSC, cathoic trials questions and write up plans for them then hand them in for marking.

another approach is to form study groups, and in each group allocate one person to become the specialist for one topic...and then the other person teaches you on their speciality and you do the same...

dont forget the opinions of the historians....they are vital for attaining Band 6 marks

cheers

launcher is right. excel books provide a simple short summary.
a good idea is to list all your points and quotes under the specific headlines from the syllabus.

there's another thread about it here: http://www.boredofstudies.org/community/showthread.php?t=42498

good luck!
