How did you go in this section? Did you accurately predict the areas it covered? How much time did you spend on this section?

I thought it was very good (Egypt to death of Thut IV) I did importance of military.

I spent about 55 minutes and got out 14 pages (9 words a line) and it was worth it imo.

Re: Section IV - Historical Periods

I did Julio-Claudians

Assess the achievements of Tiberius's principate

I'd already done an assessment with the same basic question, so it was quite easy

I wasn't expecting one on Tiberius though, as they'd already addressed him the year before

So perhaps I wasn't as prepared as I could have been, but hopefully 8 solid pages will get me a band 6 for it

I did Tiberius aswell...i think the important thing was to take a line of argument and present historiographical perspective (i used over 30 quotes in my essay) >> i mainly talked about everything >> failures and achievements. Basically covered senate, administration, provinces, army, expansion & consolidation + religion ( only a small bit) + treason trials. Good luck!

Same. I had a perfect quote from Plutarch for it, too.

I got 8 pages out, I was a few lines from needing a new booklet for my response. Pretty good, I think.

Tiberius wasn't asked last year. The question was on reforms and policies of one ruler and most students did Claudius.
