I'm doing both these exams, feeling a lit better about Aeneid, less picky details to remember.

Ah, same here!! I'm feeling relatively alright about the Aeneid, and I like it so much more! Any predictions? I'm guessing maybe Book 5 or 12... maybe Turnus or women?? Could be wrong though :biggrin:

I'm dreading Friday's exam. I like the texts but I feel like there's so much stuff to remember for Herodotus that I just can't do it :frown: Aeschylus I feel much better about, so I'm 90% sure I'll pick the Aeschylus questions. How about you?

For the mock papers I have gone for Aeschylus every time, the head examiner apparently really likes Aeschylus anyway. Just got to remember to link back to the audience and the way theatre was back then.

My teacher seems to think it'll be questions similar to early 2000 papers, 2004 etc.
