does anyone know whats likely to come up in the crime and punishment exam tomorrow

Its very hard to question spot history, therefore my advice is to revise the stuff you are least confident on so at least you will be a bit more confident on the way into the exam.

Sorry I couldn't be more help!

On second thoughts the grade boundaries could be significantly lower than last year. Every single person at my school is thinking they're going to fail, every person on Twitter talking about it think they're going to fail, the response on here isn't exactly positive either.

Obviously this isn't a gurantee, but my gut feeling is telling me this could be the case. Especially after the question paper was re-done, it goes back to the Roman times and it requires more own knowledge than ever.

Surprisingly I'm actually looking forward to this exam more than the other two. I guess it helps I find crime and punishment the most interesting and it's actually quite simple. I'm hoping a question on Anglo Saxons or Romans will come up. I'm sure you will all do fine though :smile:

How did everyone find this? I liked it! But I nearly ran out of time so had to rush the 16 marker a bit 😱

I thought it was alright - the questions were really nice, but I sort of ran out of time for the 16 marker - I could have wrote a lot more and in a lot more detail :frown:

Do you know if we're allowed to talk about questions, or do other people have to do the exam still? :O

It wasn't as bad as I was thinking!

Q1 and Q2 was mediocre, but after that I think the rest went OK. I don't think I've got an A on it though, but perhaps a B?

I found Q1, 2, and 4/5 fine. I found the 3rd and the 16 marker the hard ones - probably because I didn't have enough time on both, lol

I loved question 3 and 6 was an amazing question just no time to write everything 🙈

the questions were all pretty straightforward but man did i run out of time, an extra 15 minutes would have been lifesaving to write anything substantial for question 6, if i scrape a B i'll be relieved
