im watching epicmaths do mx2 and im just like wondering if i was either away for half of last year or if this paper is just that horrendous

i just did ext 2 math paper and i got 50% by just writing i on every single question

my favourite maths extension 2 tactic "proof by intuition"

“by inspection” but you have no idea what I’m inspecting

im watching epicmaths do mx2 and im just like wondering if i was either away for half of last year or if this paper is just that horrendous

hoping it genuinely was that bad so the alignment is godly

ancient history folks doing the greek world how do u Usually structure ur essays for this

usually the question is always smth like to what extent/assess ___ and it basically asks how "successful" or "effective" (diff wording) smth is from memory, I usually go with 2 paras on my stronger argument (probably agreeing), then 1 counterargument which either impedes on the "success", thereby limiting it OR when its a different factor that contributed to make smth 'successful/effective' or wtv.
Sorry if this doesnt make sense lol it makes sense in my head Also pretty sure u can go with 3-4 body paras.

for example:


Plan:
- Yes his contributions were very significant (if this is ur stance) - 2 paras on them, kinda centre them on a "theme" ig like one on naval etc etc
- However, he wasn;'t the only individual who contributed to greek victory as... another individual u think did great, for example Leonidas or Miltiades... 1 para

OR: ur argument could be purely on him but maybe one para where he went wrong/didn't contribute greatly (again, ur choice - have relevant evidence for all of this)
- then u can say smth like Themistocles contributed to GV in the Persian wars to a moderate extent/ significant extent however ______ slightly impedes on this, thus rendering his contributions to GV to be of a moderate extent.

sorry for the yap if this doesn't;t help at all, but overall my tips:
- VERY clear thesis - can be the end of ur intro but ensure ur introducing sentence answers Q
- just elaborate a little bit in intro, mention of what ur body paras abt
- IF RELEVANT, mention reoccurring historians
- last sentence ties up & reiterates ur point - makes ur thesis CLEARR!! (UNDERLINE so markers can see)
Bodies:
- thesis statement specific to that body which is ur agreement/disagreement
- explain stuff according to wtv the Q asks, implement sources, analyse ur sources on their usefulness, what they reveal, reliability/limitations/bias - dont overdo it unless it is a source based Q, this is usually for ancient sources. have modern sources too, although I don't think its VERY necessary to analyse these - maybe js mention that they're more reliable due to research/proof check etc
- do this as much as u need for taht body js make sure it proves ur point & isn't tooooo much cos its ur opinion ur just using the sources to back u up
overall always have a link to the Q in opening and closing of all ur paras and make sure ur approach is thematic.

again sorry if I didn't explain this well or made typos cos i'm rushing rn I need to revise!! Good luck!! I absolutely HATE greek world
