    Dude! That was AMAZING! I think if all works out I can get 97+/100 raw! It was so easy lol...The Hatshepsut questions were very generic and were pretty easy. Sparta was very good too! How did you go? :P

    General Thoughts - Ancient History

    Best exam. I did really well in all sections. No tricks, very generic and straightforward. I really think I smashed it!

    Section I - Core (Pompeii and Herculaneum)

    The best P+H section ever! Really generic for the 10 marker, straight forward multiple choice. I'm really happy with how I went!

    Section IV - Historical Periods

    I did Augustus and picked the first question and absolutely blitz it! I argued Tacitus' quotation was, to a considerable extent, accurate. I basically wrote about everything up to the second settlement. Brundisium, Marching on Rome in state of high treason, 2nd Triumvirate, Settling the Vets...

    Section II - Ancient Societies

    "With reference to Source R and other sources, what does the evidence reveal about people's lives in this period?" (15 marks) Source R: "He [Lycurgus] even authorised them [the Spartiates] to use other people's household servants if anybody needed them. He also authorised hunting dogs to be...

    Section II - Ancient Societies

    I was really happy with Sparta! The questions were dot point specific, except the last one. The 15 marker was very general and open to incorporate a variety of aspects. I talked about everyday life and linked it to other parts of the syllabus. Also I discussed perioecki and helots, which was...

    Private vs. Public Schools!

    +1. 945 people got 99+ ATAR's last year. James Ruse takes the top 180 in the state, but not all of these 180 students are in the top 945 of the state in year 12.

    Private vs. Public Schools!

    I went to the oldest Catholic school in Australia. We had brilliant facilities, dedicated teaching staff who were enthusiastic about education and went out of their way to help us achieve. Also, we had a technology rich environment, easily 600 Macbooks + 200 other computers + 150ish iPads on...

    I'm actually a bit nervous about Ancient. That's the one I've studied the most for, but also the one I think I'm least prepared for! It all depends on the question! Lets just hope Augustus is a general question, I hate the specific ones lol. But, if it's anything like the CSSA trial, the whole...
