Honestly I'm struggling, but I'm struggling less than last year so hopefully I'll be able to get that B overall .
Was history the only subject where you didn't get the grade you needed? If so it's harsh you didn't get in
Its hard. A lot of it is still a muddle but seeing as though I wrote about 2 sentences for Part A last year I feel like I can at least write a little bit more!
And yes - just History! I'm not even taking it as a degree!
For the golden years, would Stresemann's Locarno pact and Treaty of Berlin come under political paragraph or would it be better to write a whole paragraph on foreign policy?

Better to write a paragraph on his successes in foreign policy
The whole of A level History is out of 400 UMS so if you got a C at AS that would be at least 120/200 UMS there, that leaves 120 UMS needed at A2 to get a C overall. An A in the coursework is 64 UMS so that leaves you needing 56 UMS for this exam which equates to a high E (35/70) to get a C overall.
If that's what you're asking, or if you mean how many marks to get a C just in this exam it would be about 43/70 going off of last years boundaries.
Hi,
I got 156 ums last year and I got an A in my coursework so how many ums do I need this year to get an A overall?

you need 320/400 UMS in total for an A, so 156 + 64 (coursework) would leave you needing 100 UMS for this exam which is a mid/low A around 57/70 or so.

Okay thanks a bunch,
So would that mean I would only need 60 ums in the exam to get a B overall?
I know it's debatable, but would you agree that it is realistic to suggest that these are the topics most likely to come up for part A (1 being very likely, 2 being less etc) 1. Wartime opposition 2. Final solution 3. WW2 morale 4. Weimar golden years 5. Nazi consolidation of power 6. Threats to Weimar in early years 1919-23 7. WW2 economy 8. Kaiser (autocracy/ democracy..) 9. Impact of WW1 10. Nazi rise to power 11. Economic development 1900-1919
is there anything I'm missing for exam structure here?
Section A:
Introduction (5-7 minutes)
5 main body paragraphs, for example (agree/agree/agree/disagree/disagree) balance depends on the question (is there a need to have a paragraph with a 'middle' argument for section A?)
Conclusion (5 minutes)
Section B:
Introduction
Paragraph 1: argument for the opinion in the question
Paragraph 2: argument against the opinion in the question
Paragraph 3: argument that covers a middle way, combination of for and against the opinion in the question
Conclusion
The part B is how I would do it but for the Part A I wouldn't stress about having 5 main paragraphs. Depending on the question you can stick to just having 3 detailed paragraphs with lots of evidence in them. E,g Social, Political, Economic
what type of question could be asked for 'Wartime opposition' and 'WW2 Morale' ?
The only opposition question that has come up before is "To what extent did the Nazi Regime face serious opposition within Germany during the years 1939-1945?"
For morale its typically about the war economy or the final solution.

Hi, i need an A this year and last year i got 162 UMS. I got 47/50 in my course work do you know what UMS and raw mark i need to get an A overall? Hoping my course work will boost my grade!!

86 UMS / 50/70 / low B
the raw mark is going off of last years grade boundaries but should be a close enough estimate.
