I'm pretty confident with Sparta and just gotta memorise some evidence/quotes for Hatshepsut....but i have major loop holes in my knowledge of P & H...and for NKE i only know about the expulsion of the Hyksos and the Queens.

I think im just going to compile quotes of primary/secondary sources for each unit so that i can use them to BS in my essays/responses tomorrow.
Think that'll work?

sounds like a pretty good plan, just make sure you know that annoying shit for P&H, about conservation and tourism etc they like to ask that

but quotes are not the main thing! make sure you have the actual knowledge

Yep, your right about the quotes thing. I'll try read (and re-read if possible) as much info as i can on the bits i dont know too much about.

I'm just annoyed that ancient is a crap scaler <.<

well u cant really just talk about conservation, its a debate, conservation or continued excavations, both have their pros and cons to certain people.

moreover, does conservation even work? Attempts a restoration have rendered many parts of the site in worse condition then they originally were, now that P H has been excavated, its pretty much inevitable that it will be destroyed slowly by the elments

the structure of the AH exam is disgusting ---> too much writing

They should use the structure of the business/eco exams

Multi choice --> short answer --> 2 extended response
