    Ancient Exam Thoughts....

    Yeah same here, except obviously with the Julio Claudians and only that one. So no money spent :) Paper wasn't too bad, worried about sections 2 and 4, didn't do too well, but Agrippina wasn't too bad, just screwed up the social position, which i already knew but yeah.

    Module A - In the Wild

    It's not really how many pages you write if you have huge writing, i did about 7-8 words per line for 6 pages in 45 mins. Not happy with what i did at all, didn't talk about everything i wanted to talk about, actually cut out alot of what i wanted to say. 15 pages per module? If you've got...

    How does Ancient tend to be scaled?

    I'm not too sure myself if the UAI is calculated using the raw or aligned marks. The scaling is based on the raw marks yes, but the UAI, i'll let Laz clear that up. Besides, IF your class does well in the HSC, then the aligned marks will be significantly higher and so will the moderated mark so...

    Pax Romana??

    The best place to use it is with relations to the army since the term means "Roman Peace" and Augustus ended the civil wars. But that's personally. You could slip it in with any of his reforms.

    Pax Romana??

    You would mention Pax Romana if there's a question about Augustus' reforms, not just the army.

    confused - bradley

    Technically, you can quote anything, but it's preferable that you don't quote from ANY TEXTBOOK AUTHOR. So you can quote from Bradley, but if you want marks, don't even think about using Bradley or Lawless.

    Are you doing an extra society or historical period?

    The course name is Augustus to Titus but there's no difference from Nero to Titus so it doesn't matter. After Titus (eg Hadrian) is where you see changes to society.

    How does Ancient tend to be scaled?

    That might be a problem for you then, but of course i can't say for sure, you really have to hope that the bottom guys pick up their act and the freaks do really well.

    How does Ancient tend to be scaled?

    It depends how far you are from the rest of our class, usually if you're somewhere between 20-30+ marks ahead then the scaling won't affect you as much. It depends where you are in your class, if you're up in the top 3, then you don't have much to worry about as the rest of your class won't...

    How does Ancient tend to be scaled?

    It shouldn't affect you that greatly then. You aren't completely immune but you are relatively immune from the bottom guys dragging you down.

    How does Ancient tend to be scaled?

    Well if you've looked at sif not 99's post in "What did you get in the CSSA exam?" then you should know that the marks don't matter unless they don't do anything about it from now till the hsc. Even so, it does not mean that they can't get band 5.

    How does Ancient tend to be scaled?

    The best way to do that is to study and hope all of your other classmates get at least a mid-high band 5 average.

    ancient history is destroying my brain

    That and the stress of being in the exam watching out for the time and going "shit i only have ____ left..." For me it comes naturally, i start on something and it all flows back during the exam.
