    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.

    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.

    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

    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!
