I'm doing 2 others but History is my priority seeing as I want to study it

Re: General A level History help and Edexcel History (NEW SPEC)Hmm well Unit 2 is slightly different. As Q1 is source based and Q2 is combination of the two.(Original post by letsdothetimewarpagain)

I can PM you writing technique on this if you wish. Even if you know the knowledge you can still get a U if you dont know how to write it. I plan to go into much more depth in this help page later though. -
Re: General A level History help and Edexcel History (NEW SPEC)If you already have it then it would be awesome, otherwise I'll wait until you do this page(Original post by Stricof)

Re: General A level History help and Edexcel History (NEW SPEC)I'm not sure what they are called, but I just finished my AS year now and we did U.S. Civil Rights from 1945-74, U.S. Foreign Policy in South East Asia from 1945-74 and 'Conflict and Consensus: Post-war British Politics up till Thatcher's demise. I didn't revise well enough so I need to resit the British politics module.(Original post by Stricof)

In September we're starting up on the English Civil War(s) and Post-war African history: independence and African nationalism etc. -
Re: General A level History help and Edexcel History (NEW SPEC)In that paper your technique is probably more important than the knowledge. I can PM you stuff on technique if you wish?(Original post by D.R.E)
