Ancient History Exam Discussion

I don't know exactly how many marks you'd get, but you've definately hit a lot of important points so I'd say there's definately a strong possibility!
With the last question, what I did was a paragraph of Fiorelli and how plaster was "new technology" which contributed to the expansion of knowledge at the time, however this also destroyed a lot of evidence as well which was a limitation. Then I linked that to digital reconstructions as a non-destructive way to study the past, and then spoke about other forms of technology such as x-rays and linked that to Estelle Lazer And that was pretty much all I can remember haha but I think that was most of what I wrote

I think our exams are looking very similar!

Definately in Pompeii and Herculaneum! Though I hope you didn't write about Sparta for Periclean Athens

Hahaha, I wouldn't dream of it. Those lacedaemonians are the enemy!

Whew! Thanks guys, I always tend to think I'm doing OK I'm the exam and then stress I should have done more afterwards but I think (hopefully) that I should be relatively OK now 😂😂

Okay I thought I'd just ask because I'm probably freaking out over nothing, but we only had to write our student number once for each section In sections II, III and IV right? Because after I filled in the info (question number etc) in the paper for each section, I realised I missed the student number space above the extended response In Pompeii and Herculanum, which I did filled in. Only occurred to me once I left the exam that we might have to write our student number more than once for other sections too. Probably over thinking it but for sections II-IV we only had to write it once correct? Thanks

Hey! Don't stress I'm assuming one of the supervisors came over and checked everything to sign you off, so if there had been a problem they would have spotted it!

Ok, thanks, you've reassured me  I tend to over-analyse things all the time I just couldn't imagine losing so many marks if I had missed something!

No worries! And don't worry I know how you feel haha, I spent an hour worrying whether I wrote the centre number properly, simply because I wrote it justified left instead of justified right like my friend (that might not make any sense haha, what I'm trying to say is you know how they give you 4 boxes, my centre number is three letters long so I used boxes 1-3 whereas my friend used boxes 2-4. Yep that is literally what I was worried about hahahaha)
