I sat both my AS level Classical Civilisation papers a couple of weeks ago. The first one didn't go so well - some of the low mark questions were asking for facts I couldn't remember, so I know I have lost marks there. I ended up seaguing from one higher mark question to the one following it .. and then had to go back to the earlier question and write most of the same information all over again ... it was partly that the 2 questions were remarkably similar and partly that this was the first exam I'd sat in over 10 years and I was in quite a panic!
Before the 2nd paper, DD2 sat down with me and worked out my timings for each questions, including time to check through at the end. She also revised me on some facts, in case they came up. That was very helpful (and most amusing to have such a role reversal!) and I sat the 2nd paper with much more confidence and didn't mess the questions up at all. I suspect I've dropped a couple of marks on the shorter questions but hopefully the longer questions will be enough to carry me through. I won't get the results until near the end of August. Fingers crossed!
