Happy to help :smile:
Yer so imagine Source 1 says: 'Ketts rebellion was strong because there was strong support against Somerset', whereas Source 2 says: 'Kett, although he never realised he would, had to work to gather support than did not readily supply itself. Ultimatley, this would cause any rebellion to fail'.

Here you can see a differing view between two sources, here you would bring own knowledge - how many were involved? was this a large or small number compared to other rebellions of the time? then you can discriminate and accept the account of one source as more credible.


That sounds like a lot to do for source questions, I'm nervous I won't be able to cross reference or recognize similarities or anything plus do this at the same time :frown:

By the way how long are you spending on section A and B

Hi it's not too bad, the sources normally direct to own knowledge quite nicely. I would say spend 50 mins on Part A, then 10 mins reading through sources and pulling key points from then. Then 5 mins looking at how to cross reference sources and where to bring own knowledge them. You'll then have 55 mins to answer the Part B question.
Hope that helps - don't skimp on that 15 mins source reading and notes time otherwise your argument will fall to peices when you are writing it.

Which questions did you answer? At the time I thought it was really easy, but now the more i think about it the more I feel I messed up/could have done way better.

I answered the one on peaceful coexistence which was great :biggrin:

The sources were okay I guess but I was always decent at doing sources and all.
Where you feel you messed up?

They must do though because I saw a practice essay on Wyatt's that had a terrible intro and it got 37/40...don't know how!
