    Hey everyone I scraped a star too. I think the special consideration on two papers was the thing which boosted the score up though!

    Class Civ City Life/ Classical Word (Athens) 113/120
    Class Civ Epic and Myth 115/120 (Special Consideration)
    Class Civ Community Life/ Classical Word (Pompeii) 120/120 (Special Consideration)
    Culture and Society Roman Britain (CA)- 110/120

    My Special Consideration was due to having 3/4 GCSEs in the day Well done everyone though!

    Thanks! I was lucky; we did it for 3 years and our teacher was amazing! Our epic and myth topic was Odyssey. I never liked the Odyssey, because we went into so much detail and most of the stuff never came up in the exam! That's really really unfair!!! Your exam's officer should put you in if you have 3+ exams in a day!
