This is where you share all your quirky exam stories, vent about the exam as a whole, or about getting paper cuts from Board of Studies writing books.

So how did you all go?

I'm sure you all did fine, so don't stress!

They haven't given me mod powers in this forum so I can't sticky things! Argh! Also... I'm really just procrastinating on uni work, I have three essays due in less than a week....

Yeah I’m very happy with the exam. WW1, Indochina and Riefenstahl were straightforward. My only concern is my response on the Stalingrad essay, however that should be alright. All in all I’m happy.

who wasn't loving the first part in the source questions...
it was so damn straightforward, writing one country after the other. Simply looking at the table and matching it with the question.

Fuck, I was so glad there wasnt a creative question. Even though I already had a poem memorised in my brain about Speer, when I saw that it was essay based my mind went "SCORE!".
I looked around the room, everyone else seemed to be pretty happy that they didnt throw a 'story' in.
My story for the trials was really crap, probably why I did so badly.


All in all, what a simple exam.

that was funny for me cos it was the only area i studied for my trial, and it was one of the only areas i didn't go near this time around. but it was piss easy, u could just use the sources really.

i blitzed my indo essay, 12 pages is my record. niice. i am such a gun. :D

china...i was a bit vague in my 20mk one, i left it til last, but the 2 sun essays were pie. (as in easy as...) especially the biog one, they didn't even give a time frame (eg to 1911) like they have before. if anything i wrote too much. (3.5 pages each, small writing)
