I did 9-11 not great ones, but it all depends on how good they are.. I only need an average of 6 marks per paragraph to get full cumulative marks, you'd need 7/8
we were told to do 8 by our teacher. 0 -

it's funny cause everyone seems to know around what mark they got but i don't have a clue
like i think i did really well but my teacher marks crazy hard, she even admitted it to us, it was like some sort of "subconscious way to push us" (which so didn't work btw) and she's the only person who's ever corrected any of my essays cause i do it through irish. I really feel i deserved an A but i have no clue where i stand does anyone else feel like this? 0 -

I wrote about:
-Churchill's imperialist beliefs
-Fighting between Muslim and Hindus
-How Britain went about leaving (Cyril Radcliife etc.)
Are these right?
Yep, i think so.. i only really mentioned the British leaving in hurry, and the violence.. it wasn't a great essayit's funny cause everyone seems to know around what mark they got but i don't have a clue like i think i did really well but my teacher marks crazy hard, she even admitted it to us, it was like some sort of "subconscious way to push us" (which so didn't work btw) and she's the only person who's ever corrected any of my essays cause i do it through irish.

Lads I need help? In the exam rushing for time I numbered my question wrong and didn't write the title just the topic and number of question.
i.e Ireland Topic 2
q.1
Do you think they will realise that I have wrote a different essay
I just had to log in and try and reassure you, because I always panic about stuff like this after exams, and I'm just after finishing my last year of college. I'm going to be a history teacher, so was just checking in on how the exam went.
Anyway, I would think that the person correcting your exam will know by reading your answer, which question you intended on answering, despite the numbering. I'm sure mistakes in things such as numbering happen all the time, and they are well used to it! I hope you get the result you want!:)0 -

Ugh I knew I'd mess up somewhere. I doubt any of my paragraphs are worth 8. Hopefully I'll come close enough to 60.I did 9-11 not great ones, but it all depends on how good they are..

Ah don't be pessimistic, you don't need fantastic information for 8 And on other paragraphs you could have gotten more.. dont be so pessimistic :P 0 -

Guys I need some help? I rushed my final essay and was unsure what to choose so numbered the question and topic wrong. So basically wrote an essay under a completely different topic and title. Do you think the examiner will realise?

No worries!:) I know what's it like to panic about such things after an exam, but you have to remember that the corrector has seen it all before. Thank you!:)0 -
Well said.

May not be true but it makes me feel better anyway. **** you India and **** you Eucharistic Congress giving marks away
I don't think my relationship with history is over at this stage, my teacher was good enough that he sparked my interest in it. Anyone have recommendations for a good Summer read? I think "Ireland Since the Famine" by FSL Lyons is one of the staples...anything else?0 -
