What did you write for that question?

I wrote government took control:

*Because so many men had signed up for war there was a shortage of workers.
*Because the govenment planned to gear for "total war" and mobilise the adult population, industries had to operate efficiently.
*Because there was a threat that strikes due to pay would happen and this would affect the productivity and the war effort as a whole.

+I mentioned how the government signed the Treasury Agreement 1915 followed by the Munitions of War Act, where the govenemnt was allowed to "dilute" skilled jobs, control labour, and strikes were banned, in return for fixed wages and profits.

I mentioned munitions, and needing workers and that's it.

I messed up badly. It was one of the things I barely revised for. The appeasement question I felt should have been easy but it was one of the few things I didn't actually revise for...

The threshhold for an A on January's paper was 67%, so it can't be too hard to get an A. I hope.

When you say 67%, due mean out of 120 raw marks ?

So 81/120 raw marks would have been an A last time?

Oh, I'm glad I've found this thread - nobody seems to do WJEC History. There's only like 25 of us doing it out of a sixth form of over 3000 students.

Well, I thought the exam went ok (we did International Relations and Fascist Italy). The Italy questions were much kinder than the IR ones. I'd planned the (a) one on Italy out as part of my revision, I must be psychic or something!! The IR question on alliances was a bit 'meh', I didn't really know what to write, but managed to scrape something together.

But my biggest achievement? Finishing within the time limit for the first time ever!!! God, I've never done that in History before; the time limit we get really is rubbish.

I do feel sorry for the examiner who's got to trawl through seven pages of my rushed handwriting though!
