Punic wars was awesome, the question was perfect, very similar to the trial and an assesment task.

I did Egypt New kingdom to the death of Thut IV. Answered question a) on Nubia. Overall view on the exam. Startling at first, but after applying knowledge, very very simple test. Hope i get 90+ after all, its my best subject.

I was pretty happy with the Fall of the Roman Republic. But the questions seemed quite vague and open to me.

I agree, Themistocles question was quite good - I just ran out of time and didnt get to finish my Xerxes 15 mark response :(

I did Greek World 500-440
I was crossing my fingers for a good Persian Wars question because I had no idea about the Delian League, and I got one.
I wrote about development of the navy, tactics, bribery, blackmail, how the navy stopped the Persian supply etc.

Rome 264-133BC (Punic Wars)Horrible questions. Way too much content to cover. Conquest of Greece? Not in the syllabus.
