Section IV - Historical Periods (2 Viewers)

[xeuyrawp]

How did you all go?

Which questions did you answer?

 

[russianROULETTE]

I did Egypt, Unification to the First Intermediate Period

it was awesome. i was so worried for this one, but one question was our assessment task from earlier this year, we had to do a 5000 word essay so i remembered heaps of examples of features, names of kings, quotes of historians and what it all meant politically and religiously.

i got 21/25 for the assessment, hopefully i got around that much for this too!

 

[kevzor]

what the fuck was with greek wars essay part a)

fkn stupid lol.

 

[olivegreentiger]

I liked the persian wars part A

 

[marlainagarcia]

Agree about Greek World Part a)- Assess the impact of the Persian wars on sparta

What did others doing Greece argue here???
Loss of Leonidas at Thermopylae- cost of agreement with Athens
Pausanias - great victory at Plataea- but later brought shame upon Sparta at Byzantium( maybe not reliable accounts of this from Herod. and Plutarch...anti-Spartan)
Loss of power/ reputation amoungst Ionian states- revolting Helots at home????

Did anyone have other arguments??

What a tricky question!

 

[Nasonex]

Fuck i forgot about Pausanius

 

[mynamewastaken]

i did new kingdom to death of thut IV

pretty good, egypt is my favourite. i did the building program one, because i couldnt think how anyone would write 25 marks worth of stuff just on the warrior pharaoh image... shrug.

but i couldnt remember what a few of the pharaohs built so i guessed, and hoped it was right.

 

[Soofy]

I do the Julio-Claudians and the Roman Empire 14-69AD and I did part b only because I had no idea what to write for a haha!
I was SOOOO unprepared!

oh well! it's over! YAY!

lol i wish i thought of them... i forgot pausianas too
i just wrote how athens got raised up in position wise coz of themistocles naval policy n they lostt leadership at delian league

i think thats right? hope so or il go EMO ha ha

oh i forgot, i did leonidas too..

 

[Izzay]

persian wars (a) was shit
at least ask about impact on athens....sparta is friggin gay...(no pun intended)

i was fully preparing myself for some generic question

 

[SpoonSamba]

Julio Claudians
a)compare admin of tiberius and gaius
b)something about praetorians

well they were pretty much the 2 parts of the syllabus id prayed wouldnt come up. and a) looked more bullshittable, but it was really crap. like it really was but srsly like a comparison! wtf thats so random! im so annoyed cos i woulda done really well overall otehrwise dammit. gay julio claudians.

 

[silverfiction]

the peloponnesian war questions were a god send =)

i studied the causes of the war in detail and like kinda skimmed over the other phases... but they had the one i wanted! yay

i thought it might've been on like the sicilian expedition or sum shit...

 

[x-beckyyy-x]

fall of the roman republic.. option b. why did antony lose in the civil war with octavian.. andddddddd i talked about so much that wasnt to even do with the civil war, and forgot who said quotes so said that plutarch said most ancient quotes hahaha

 

[Rhanoct]

greece 500-440 (i think thats it anyway, lol)

did b) changing relationship b/w athens and her allies... easy enough

 

[dance2urownbeat]

i did amenhotep III - ramses II part a about akhenaten's 'revolution'
it was kinda crappy writing 50 marks on him coz he's also my personality but hey, i knew about 5 marks worth on kadesh!
my essay was a bit all over the place but oh well, hopefully 20+.

 

[Tragedy Thrills]

My class studied Rome 133-78 as our historical period topic. The questions were shit though, so I answered the compare Tiberius/Caligula because that was a large portion of my History Extension project haha. So was pretty pleasing in the end.

 

[Patar]

Rome 28-31

Explain the Activities and Breakdown of the first Triumvirate

the SAME question in our trial... and it was the only section I lost marks on in the trial.

But yeah, having a second crack at it I think I did pretty well.

 

[-vicki.VICIOUS-]

same!
but i was so happy to see an akhenaten question.
before the exam i go to my friends "im really hoping they have a question on the akhenaten revolution coz thats basically all ive studied"
and to my luck it was there!
i was amazed.
so i just basically spewed out everything from the personality question plus more lol.
i had to get another booklet which surprised me GREATLY!
it felt good though.
hopefully ill get at least an 18.

they were being too specific in this too.
gosh.

Greece 500 - 440BC

I hated both a and b.
A) would have been okay if it had asked about Athens, rather than Sparta, I know Athens stuff! D: Sparta = me clueless
And B) sucked, it was about Athens, but changing relationships with allies? I never mentioned the Delian League... I said stuff about how Athens' relationships with other Greek states changed because of the Persian wars... probably failed it lol. I think I talked about Themistocles a lot.
