Thanks! It's just I'm really not sure how to revise, I'm not sure if I should go over different events or the different leaders or the events and I'm really confused, I've looked at past papers and I understand the questions but it's just I'm finding relevant information for the answers really difficult to find because I'm not sure what to revise!!!!! I got an A* for history for GCSE so it's not as if I'm bad at history either I just don't know what to revise. :angry:

If you're struggling with content then go through a revision book.

•

If you have loads of points to make in an answer (especially 24 marker) that's good! Wide-ranging answers are necessary for a Level 5 answer (or Level 4 for a 12 marker).

•

If teachers tell you some sort of prediction I suggest you don't go by it and revise everything!

I'm sure you'll be fine, an A* at GCSE is awesome. This means that it's not even a matter of practising essays for you but just knowing the content. :yep:

Thanks for your help, really appreciate it! :smile:

My teachers have been telling me that AS answers are slightly different to GCSe for example in the introduction you have to give a brief outline of your opinion and the event but for GCSE you just had to say like "Many historians argue whether Joseph Stalin was the most powerful leader of the Soviet Union because of his uses of the secret police and the purges" so I'm not really sure which one to do. What subjects do you do?

Don't worry too much about that introduction, that's not giving many marks - it's just for the layout of the essay.

I'll send you an essay I've done for my AS History if you like, you can read up on it to give yourself a taste? :h:

It's a bit complicated. :tongue:

I've done my Sociology A Level, Now just resitting my AS exams for History and all exams for my A Level Mathematics. So you're in year 12?
