OCR A Level Classical Civilisation Paper 3 (H408/31-34) - 3rd June 2025 [Exam Chat]

Did anyone actually know when Socrates died for Greek Religion? I was just thinking last night if I needed to know any dates but I decided against it 😭

Ah yeah same, I put that and then literally that he introduced reforms because I was confused. Makes sense now but that's still an annoying question

399 !!

Crap I wrote 394

What did everyone think of the Love and Relationships paper? I totally ran out of time on my 30 marker but I had so many ideas to write 😭😭

Yeah, I wrote kyrbeis wooden panels rotating in the agora, but then after realised it should have been the fact he was a poet

Guys for Athenian Democracy and in general, for the 30 markers do you need to put every single important detail in the plays or sources mentioned? I put some big important ones but my mind blanked and forgot other important ones

I thought the 20 marker was weird ngl, and the acropolis diagram felt hard to talk about what was useful, but the 30 markers were BLESSED

Guys I wrote about Erchia's religious calendar in the 20m Greek Religion Question about Athens am I cooked? I did speak about the cultural dominance of Homer and Hesiod in Athens as well as the severity of the polis in Athens deterring impiety but I also yapped about panhellenic sites that Athenians could visit and archaeological evidence of support towards the gods by 1st and 2nd century AD despite the date being 399BC showing that support surpassed that time period...is there too much irrelevant detail

Any thoughts on POTLR?? I thought it was really good !!

Yeah, how'd you find it in the end? I thought that was a pretty nice paper overall

Whatever is relevant for you argument and it doesn't need to be in detail as long as you can link it to the questions; for me and the plato i talked about his idea of the philsopher king and just the fact that they loved truth and hated lies and that meant they wouldn't be easily corrupted. And for the Aristophanes plays i literally gave a sentance as I was referring to his criticsms of the assembly (Archanians and Assemblywomen) and his dislike for Cleon (Wasps and Knights but for Wasps I literally just said how the main characters names were making fun of cleon and that for knights he tells his audience to not be fooled by demagogues like cleon)

Any thoughts on POTLR?? I thought it was really good !!

For the 30 marker, did you do the Plato one?

I think it was okay which scares me a bit ngl... lmaooo it doesn't help that there were Issues with my access arrangements T-T but thats hopefully getting sorted. what question did you pick???

Sorry to hear about your access arrangements - by the sounds of it you probably did well though. I chose the Plato one because I find it easier to recall author stuff in a 30. Which did you do?
