Hey,
I'm really curious to know what options you study for Ancient and what are the more popular ones on AN :D
I was going to make a poll but realised that there are almost 40 different options that you could study (and I couldn't be bothered typing them all up)!
Also, which option is your favourite and which is your weakest/the one you would like the most help with?
My options
I study Pompeii and Herculaneum (obviously), Sparta, the Julio Claudian emperors and Agrippina. I like them all, but Pompeii was my best in the trials. My weakest/the ones I need to improve are Agrippina (except we still haven't finished the course yet), and Sparta.

i don't do ancient, but people i know who do ancient aren't huge fans of the personality study. the options my school have chosen does make me wish i did ancient though (definitely would not choose ancient over modern though)
my school's options
pompeii/herculaneum, sparta, caesar, fall of the roman republic

Not entirely sure if I regret doing Ancient or not. It's quite interesting how we developed as a society and all, but my class puts in 0 effort into the subject, making me loose interest. Think my teacher has lost motivation to teach us because we do nothing. Though I'm really trying my best to put in more effort because I feel bad for my teacher and I want at least a Band 5 for this subject.
ANYWAYS
my options
- Pompeii and Herculaneum ;)
- Sparta
- Xerxes
- Greek World: 500BC-440BC
My favourite topic has to be Pompeii and Herculaneum. But the most ironic thing is, is that this was my lowest section in the trials. Apparently I wasn't answering the questions properly and that my answers were too short. I couldn't ask for more paper because this would mean loosing time for the other sections. My least favourite is Greek World because there's so many sources to remember and there isn't much archaeological evidence. The Greek World and Xerxes tie in perfectly with each other because Greek World: 500BC-440BC is basically all about the Persian wars and Xerxes was involved because he was the Persian king during the time. Sparta at first was interesting but my teacher and my classmates made it so boring and it just kept dragging on. I reckon Pompeii is easy because everyone does it and there's a lot more sources on it.
My Ancient teacher changed the options for the next Ancient students. My class has mentioned so many times that Xerxes and Greek World were boring (I kind of liked Xerxes though). So the next Year 12 Ancient students will be studying Hatshepsut and one of the Ancient Egypt periods.
