What are you predicted usually for history?

My predicted grade was an A* but I think my teacher just has false hope in me because I did alright in the mock paper (which was a godsend compared to this :lol:

). You?

For me it's complicated tbh, when I came here (2 years ago) I was new... so usually was sitting on C's and D's; in unit 1 however I almost got an A but that was months ago, hope I've improved haha. As long as you try your best it's all fine.

That's an amazing improvement so really well done! :smile:

I'm sure you got an A or A* in this paper :h:

Yeah fairs, I tried for this exam so even if I don't get the grade I wanted/was predicted at least I won't have many regrets??

Haha <3 thank you. Well that's what I meant, as long as you put in the effort, it doesn't matter at the end of the day as long as you know you've done everything you could in order to achieve it. You'll be fine!
How confident do you feel about unit 2? You do the Vietnam section, right?

how did everyone find the GCSE AQA HISTORY B exam? I answered questions from topic 1, 2 and 3. It went okay for me I guess, but found some questions difficult. :s-smilie:

No problem :smile:

Thanks

Meh, haven't really looked at unit 2 for a while but I think there are less events and its more about knowing all the stats etc instead :/ I hate the exam format though (10 mark source question and 12 mark essays :colonhash:

).
I'm not confident about Vietnam though. What other topics do you do? I do Tsarist Russia and then Stalin's Russia

Smh I found the source in like a 10 second google search :cry:

I just wrote that I agree with it and then I said there are also other reason as to why Solidarity was succesful such as Reagan's support and it's popularity. Hopefully i'm not mistaken
