I did:

The French Revolution
The League of Nations and UN
The Russian History Questions

my take:
it was hard i was tear filled. many people in my centre even left some blank. why was it so difficult? i never even heard of the corfu incident.

I wasn't doing them, but the Corfu Incident was in 1923 when an Italian general, called Tellini, was trying to work out where the border between Albania and Greece should go, but he was attacked and killed. The Italian government then insisted that the Greeks pay compensation but they refused (it wasn't the Greek government who did it) and Italy started shelling Corfu (an island off the coast of Greece). The League came to some sort of agreement but it was then overturned by the Conference of Ambassadors so Italy got its way. It showed the League to be uneffective when dealing with a major power.

i wrote about the double V campaign and how roosevelts second new deal imporved the life for farmers. in the war americans got more equality because there was more jobs, so their help was needed towards the war effort- and it was the first time they were allowed to be doctors too

Probably. But if the examiners' report shows one question was really hard they might weight the paper

Edexcel didn't set this paper properly. Above all, the scaffolding question was just ridiculous for my topic!!

Yes you are absolutely correct; however, will you be doing history in A levels? It seems that you really like history, so why not go for it?

No. I won't be doing A level; however, I've started with ABE UK (association of business executives) and I'm currently doing the level 4 diploma course. I will sit the ABE exams of level 4 this December.

Oh nice, do you want to go into business then? It's not my cup of tea, unfortunately

Yes a business line but not exactly business; I will do ABE for 6 months and then do ACCA (an accounting course) and then go into accounting. So I'll become an accountant. I find this route quick, easy and less stressful compared with the A levels.

Ya well I'm a boring person in life so it's natural that I'll go for "boring'' subjects; however, those boring subjects are really passionate and interesting for me. I find history really really boring though so we're two different person though.
