    You're getting the feeling that you're going to hate the History exam more than any other 3 hour period, ever?

    Yeah, the books are terrible.

    What's really bothering me is, if we had done the top say 3 most likely essays in each section from the start of this year, over and over, we would be sorted for the exam months in advance. I don't get it.

    any hints on what to go over please

    You have like 3 hours tops :P

    CnG/FF economic policy for Irish
    Apprentice Boys - North
    Causes of WW2/Hitler's F Pol - Europe

    That's all I'm doing today. If they don't come up I'm relying on stuff I barely remember. GG.

    I'm not too worried, everything else has gone really well so far so I guess I deserve at least one kick in the teeth along the way through the 'xams.

    I have to do well in this, its one of my bankers. Have 15 essays in my head swirling around in my head and its driving me nuts!:(

    History is one of my better subjects, it's just annoying the amount you have to write in the 3 hours - it's more a "who can write the quickest" exam than anything else.

    It's going to be horrible. At least we probably have 18 or 19% already...:o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 660 ✭✭✭Claypigeon


    I'm talking to a maths-head friend on MSN atm.

    If I take it that I got 19% in the project, I have 95 marks/500 so far.

    I want a c3, which is 275/500 marks at least, I need 180 marks in this written exam.

    If Moon Landings come up I can do a good Contextualisation, that will be up on 80/100 marks for the entire doc I'd say if not more since I'm good at those. Then if I make an attempt at each essay, I should scramble together the last 100 marks between 3 qs!
