I have NO CLUE.

I'm hoping for a short Egypt question about the three seasons :)

My Topics:
Julio-Claudians- Please be something about Praetorian Guard changing role, or Senate
New Kingdom Egypt till the death of Amenhotep III- Something about the army?
Hatshepsut- It's all sort of the same :p

And P and H of course :) (Hoping for a forum question in here)

Good luck!

Yehh conservation is ok.
Remembering the older archaeologists sucks a little, Fiorelli, Spinazzola and Maiuri...

Is anyone planning on mentioning Dr Sara Bisel and Estelle Lazar if they ask about demographics :S

How long do you think the 25 mark essay should be?
well for modern it should be at least a booklet (that's what teacher told me)... but that's for average handwriting... also i think if your materials really good and you argue well you can get away with less than a booklet...but personally my prepared responses usually take up booklet and a half, or more, so i guess it just depends. also i like to fill up more than a booklet because i just dont feel safe until i do XP

the evaluation question (15 mark)- it would be the same for each personality (xerxes for me)

oh no, i meant for the julio claudians (as in historical periods), they can ask you questions on specific emperors. sorry for confusion.. i should have been clearer

Yeah... I suck at Gaius... mainly because he just sat around being psycho rather than DOING ANYTHING... no wait... he made his Senator a horse. good move. I'm totally going to base an essay on that -.-
:p

ahah yeh that's why they'll probably never ask about his reforms and policies
...does incest count as a reform?

oh and what did you mean by 'Gaul' for Claudius? did you mean his british invasion or...

He introduced Gauls into the Senate! There was a massive inscription about it. I did him for my speech, hence the weird socially-deprived enthusiasm about a balding slobbering (as my AH teacher says) old man.
It caused problems and the Senate were pissed, but maius imperium and all....
I have a feeling he also gave them citizenship as well... but you might wanna check that.

Seriously doubt there'll be a question about the forum this year, they had that in '06. :/ I hope it's not too specific >_>.

Quite sure the last Q (15 mark one) will be about conservations issues or ethical issues though, since the other two topics were covered in the prev. 2 years. :) My desperate last-minute study is gonna be based off those.

My predictions:

Reading time.
"Name:"
"Student ID:"

I'm just guessing though.
