OCR AS History A England 1485 - 1558: Early Tudor (18/05)

Is it possible for both essays to be on Henry viii or both on Henry vii? Or will it be one for each? Thanks 😊

I think it can be a mixture of both. On the specimen paper we did for our mock the source questions were both on religion and the state of the church on the eve of the Reformation but the two twenty markers of choice: one was the fall of Wolsey and the other was Henry vii's foreign policy
Hope this helps☺️

The mock we did had source questions on the problems with a female ruler but we had the same 20 marker essays as you ?? I'm confused what course are you doing ??? Because the official OCR specimen source questions were on the female ruler stuff. Unless your teachers made up the source questions ??

You have to believe that with the specification being new, the first exam on the new specification will be a kind question.
I believe its almost inevitable that we will see a question focused around Henry VII whether it will be Foreign or Domestic policy is up for debate. I hate to say that I can't see a question to do with the Yorkist Challenges he faced as it's the one most of us are hoping for.
The other question will most likely centred around Henry VIII and i'm guessing it will be either early foreign policy between 1509-29 Or Wolsey's domestic policy which is pretty much Henry's domestic policy. There is the slight possibility that one of the essay's is centred around Cromwell, this would probably be a worse case scenario but with this being the first exam on the new specification i think it's unlikely.
As for the Sources I'd assume it will be centred around either the Wyatt rebellion or the Ketts & Western Rebellions. However something regarding Social/Economic grievances is also a possibility.

How likely do you think it is that Henry 7 will come up in the 20 marker? Also, my teacher seems to think that it will be on social or religion for the sources. What are the social issues?

I found the source question okay (aside from the fact I almost did source A instead of source C D, I don't know if I held a consistent argument or structured it properly but the points are there and I mention the source and my own knowledge blah blah I'm just overthinking.
For the second source question which sources did you say agreed/disagreed with the view?? I found that only source A supported the view that it was religious change that caused unrest because it was referring to the Western Prayer Book Rebellion but Source B was about Kett's which was enclousure and source C didn't really mention religion???
Also I did the Henry VII essay and mentioned the Yorkist threat, challenge of the nobility and the threat from France and Scotland (auld alliance) and I put in the fact that England was weak financially too, meaning it lacked influence.

I think it went good, it could have gone much worse I just hope what I put down made sense D:
