OCR A Level Classical Civilisation Paper 3 (H408/31-34) - 3rd June 2024 [Exam Chat]

How did people find greek religion??

i just realised that 2/4 scholars i used were wrong, I got them mixed up, I was meant to put robin barrows, I put ross barson and then I put ober instead of ehenberg

i have the paper -
10: Panathenaic amphora - 'How useful is Soruce A in telling us about Athena's importance to the Athenians?'
20: 'Participation in state and Panhellenic religious activity was entirely different to that on a household or deme level'
30: 'Xenophanes and Socrates' views on the gods were radical and controversial, and had a great impact on Greek Society' or 'Blood sacrifices were the most important method of honouring and worshipping the gods'

I thought it was mostly good although I was low on time for the 30 marker. How did you find it?

I was thought the 10 markers were so good and the short questions were much better than the other papers. 20 marker decent as well and 30 marker, worded a bit convoluted but I think it was decent!

How did people find greek religion??

How did you interpret the 'compare to either Delphi or Olympia' I was unsure as to whether it meant compare to only 1 of those or compare it to those rather than any other sanctuaries such as Dodona or Epidaurus etc?? I compared to Delphi and Olympia...

love and relationships thoughts? that 30 markers on love was a gift

I thought It went quite well, found the wording of the acropolis 30marker a bit ambiguous but other than that okay? what did people put about how else people could show impiety (was like a 2marker)?

how did people find athenian democracy?

I think the POLR exam was pretty decent. the 10 markers were nice, the 20 I didn't have too much to say about Caitline though.. wrote about 5 paragraphs for Cat but feel like I repeated myself a bit. Managed to write better about Cicero's opposition to Caesar. the 30 marker on personal ambition was a blessing, managed to write about multiple individuals. I think I would have ran out of things to say for the Verre's 30 marker

love and relationships thoughts? that 30 markers on love was a gift

I do love and relationships and was wondering do we need to use direct quotes? I usually use quotes for Sappho and Ovid but because Seneca and Plato don't have any prescribed sources, are we still expected to directly quote? Before I've said things like, in On Marriage, or explained in Symposium, but do I need to change this?
