Yes but each section has a total of 8 marks for KU, that's what I meant. Some of them also have a choice between two topics for the 8 mark essay.

Although, if there are two topics, most of the time you have to write about both of them, as it will ask you how important one of them was, and you need to take into account other answers to the question!

Hi guys! For people doing Germany 1918-39, are you revising Hitler's four year economic plans?

My Teacher reckons that the 8 mark essay will be in Germany 1918-1939 - if the SQA follow the pattern she has recognised throughout the papers.

Disclaimer - I deny responsibility if the 8 marker is not indeed in the German, or respectively, Russian section :tongue:

Well I just hope it's not in the British topic. 1880s to the Present Day is far too mind-numbingly dull to be able to write a good 8 mark essay on. :colonhash:

You could at least get the 2 marks for structure, though and I'm sure with a bit of knowledge you could get a few more marks. Having the eight-marker there might actually be beneficial if you feel it's your weakest syllabus area :smile:

I am doing Germany 1989-1939 and I have to say I haven't even looked at Hitler's four year economic plans. Been much more focused on reasons for fall of Weimar Republic and the effects Treaty of Versailles and the influence on young people.

I think that was a solid exam, actually. I especially liked the 8 marker in Germany as it was along the lines of what I had prepared for.

I just hope my exam marker is good at reading almost illegible writing - because by 2.40 I was pretty much writing in Arabic :redface:

I find the genereal easy peasy but the credit was unexpectedly much more challenging. Some of the ES confused me but I answered everything. Yeah my writing was a total mess and my right hand has two red blisters hehe. Better be worth it.

Btw what did you guys write for the one about the league of nations and the last ES question?

I wrote about for the League of Nations stopping more war, eradicating poverty and famine etc and two more things which I can't remember (they seemed convincing at the time, though).
Yes, the General was easy.
I can't remember what I wrote for the last ES question - I got two agreeing statements and went with that - I was very aware of the clock at that time!
