The best way to revise your work is to try writing a practice essay. This will stimulate your memory as well as help you hone your essay-writing skills. Below are two practice questions.

Snap. Totally did not see this. The first one, on the importance of the army is from the 2007 HSC and is worth 12 marks. Is the other one also 12 marks?

-Reinforced the myth of Spartan unity, invincibility and power
-Maintained the Spartan social structure
