Tomorrow, you should have two exams. Paper 1 will be an hour and a half, and in it you'll have to write 2 essays each lastings 45 minutes. These essays should be on the two topics you chose to write on in class, e.g. Britain 1850-1951. There will be a selection of questions for each topic. Paper two will last 85 minutes, and will consist of 4 source questions on the topi you have studied in class for this section, e.g. Scottish Wars of Independence 1286-1328. There will be two 10 mark questions, and two 5 mark questions.

Hope this helps, and good luck for tomorrow!

Just had my Higher History prelim today and paper 1 is actually 1 hour and 20 mins, therefore 40 mins to write 2 essays - plenty time if you know what you're writing!
