    5 fact to add into the last Q & the purpose Q. It's basically to fill the requirement of own knowledge for the last Q and to enhance the sources ect

    Cool thanks
    I think I do a yes paragraph and a no paragraph, with examples and explanations, I put each source on at least one side (both if it fits) and then put the judgement in the conclusion. I tend to put the own knowledge wherever it's convenient, sometimes in the conclusion if I've missed it out! Oh and the provenance usually goes in the introduction or as I begin to talk about each source
    What sort of timings do you use for each question?

    John Wright who writes the Edexcel History papers and the textbooks for all the units came in to our school one time and gave us this booklet which tells you how to write the questions.

    According to him the timings should be:
    Q1: 8 minutes
    Q2: 12 minutes
    Q3: 15 minutes
    Q4: 15 minutes
    Q5: 25 minutes
