    Yup around the 50 mark. You can only get better from this point. All about learning the skill of essay writing.

    My second essay was atrocious so this makes up for it more than anything. :D Jim's the class rep but he's also a legend.... Undoubtedly used some more primary source documents which were unknown to the general public.:p

    Apparently 80 is the threshold of excellence at University level. Thats what we were told by our tutor, the highest he's ever seen from a first year essay is 78.

    Interesting about the threshold. Been close and probably got it but it's a difficult mark to achieve unless a few years work and plenty of focus goes in. Guy I know got over 95 I think in an essay last year. Couldn't believe it, probably had an tutor who was an 'easy-marker'.
