    AQA AS History Unit 2 - HIS2L - 22 May 2012
    Views on the exam people?

    I found it horrible and I don't think I got an A, might of scraped a B, maybe even a C as I answered the questions in a weird way and deffinatly didn't do enough for the last 24 marker in the view supporting NEP (what was the economic success of it anyway? It was a failure!) anyway, what are others views?

    Same here, I thought it was horrible! What an odd way to word the questions. I just hope I've done enough.

    Thought it was a good paper myself. Source questions were okay, and Question 3 was easy enough.

    Yeah, the source questions were fine but the question about Kirov baffled me as I felt like I hadn't written enough. What were your points?

    My 3 themes were: 1. Events at the 17th party congress. 2. Stalin's paranoia/Ryutin 3. Old Bolsheviks/paranoia

    You?

    sources wasn't too bad it was the first 24 marker about the NEP being a failure, i wrote how it was inefficient and unideological etc, but how was it a success? I could only write 1 rushed paragraph on how it was a halfway house to socialism and not meant as a economic solution, just for recovery from war communism. It was really unbalanced and i wont get into level 4 for that.
