I essentially said that history is for the people now and in the future, but it should not be written in order to please the audience. Jenkins seemed hung up on this notion that the audience should like what is being written, if that's true than he isn't writing real history. Oh well I'm just...

Q1 I used Herodotus, Polybius, Thucydides, Becker and Vincent. I wrote about 8 pages for this one and about 6/7 for question 2.

I did his handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Bay of Pigs as well as the extent to which his drug use and sexual affairs affected his ability as president.

Meh I thought the exam was OK but what was the deal with question one? I wrote heaps but that source was weird, he just kept repeating himself! And the question wasn't even a question! I did JFK too, I didn't really like it but hey, I think I did OK. And that's all I expect from history...

Awesome Hey!!!! I think they are awesome! I have the album in my car and I haven't taken it out! I love all the songs, they each as different and as exciting as the next!

My worst section I did the essay on government and I didn't do too well. I just blabbed on about anything I could and just threw in some quotes I remembered. Haha. The rest of the test was A.O.K. I was really just disappointed with this one. Why didn't we get family or entertainment or work. Oh...

Agrippina the Younger Yeah I thought C was a bit weird until I read the question. I did what most of you seem to have done and evaluated what different sources said about her and the images they presented of her. I used some quotes. I thought for a 12 mark question it was a bit tough, but...

Ouch I spent from 3.30pm-11pm last night studying and now after the exam today I have all these aggravated areas on my hands. I wish I'd learnt how to use a pen properly in primary school. I thought the test was O.K. It wasn't particularly easy, nor was it hard. I had plenty to write for...

Same as S13WPN Yeah I got the same multiple choice answers as you S13WPN! Go us! I thought the multiple choice were harder than past years but it was still pretty good I think. They tried to trick us with the wording e.g. Q8. Oh well guys, at least its OVER. Anyone here persuing design...

Reading for pleasure isn't my thing and never will be!!! I prefer to expand my mind through the majesty of television... Oh how I love TV

Oh I know I know I know I know!!!! I don't even get the topic for King Lear! What was I meant to know?!?!? I went fine in the other two but god, not such good news for old Shakespeare. I'll never read another book again.

Is it just me or do you guys prefer the other sections? I don't like multiple choice because its too definite, that's why I'm not a maths person! Haha I like to talk my way around stuff rather than use formulas!

exactly! It seemed today for both English and D&T that I had time to spare, obviously not as much in English! I just sit there mid question, have a drink, read through my stuff, then make myself rush again! I work well under pressure lol

Happy! I think that test was so reasonable. If you have a good understanding of the D&T subject and paid attention in class, study wasn't that necessary. I studied and I didnt really use anything I wouldn't have known otherwise. So glad its over though, the M.D.P took out a HUGE chunk of my...

I have D&T today as well :-( Good luck everyone, I'm so excited I never have to analyse ANYTHING ever again!

I'm concerned, but I don't really think it's going to be too bad. Really, if you know the text well enough (which I don't for some) it should be o.k. Just make sure you give equal time to the essays if you can! Good luck!
