    I have history word notes in proper detail that got me full UMS on both the exams

    I did the USA in the 20s, USA in the 30s and Hitler in the 30s i think and some on the Weimar republic although we didn't do this as our GCSE choice but merely as a background

    I have posted these down below if you want them

    thanks!, I got 88/90 ums for unit 1 and 55/60 ums on the cwk.

    So for an A* overall, you need to score a combined 216/240 UMS for the whole course.

    So far i got: 88+55 = 143 ums, so take that away from 216, then you got the ums you need to score for paper 2 to get an A* overall, so in my instance: 216-143= 73 ums (which is a low B on the AQA website that i need to get in paper 2 to get an A* overall !!!! )
    Ah I got 88/90 for unit 1 and 57/60 for the coursework so we need pretty much the same mark for unit 2, good luck

    Worried about these inference 4 mark questions :/
    Any tips?
    It's really simple - say what the source is suggesting first and then add a bit of your own knowledge to it. That's how you'll get full marks for that question.

    I do the roaring twenties, Hitler's Germany and Vietnam. Vietnam has to be the worst possible choice!

    It actually isn't, by far it is easier than Hitler's Germany and that's why I am picking it
