Life in Hitler's Germany, Edexcel AS module

Hey

Is anyone else taking this exam next week?

I'm re-taking it to get a higher UMS mark

Any tips or advice??

I doing it too, though for the first time.

I'm really worried though because the other history class in my year are all saying, "I can't believe how easy it is to do well in this paper" and here I am absolutely bricking it because I haven't got over 40/60 in a timed past paper, and I'm supposedly the best in our year at history!

I'm just wondering if our teacher is marking us extra hard, but if she isn't then she better help me out because I need to do well.

*worries*

I'm doing it Monday.

I think it should be OK, I reckon Religion is gonna come up as a Question C as it has never come up before, but it a major part of the Syllabus.

Will be very interesting to see.

I wanna get a good result first time because the format of the paper is changing next year, don't want to have to resit it!

Doing it for my first time on monday also, i've barely got over 45/60 in a timed essay either, the only thing i have going for me though is that i can write around 6 sides in the time, quality not quantity... bollox to that :smile:

Good luck to you all. I certainly need it!

Really hoping religion does not come up though for a question c).

My teacher has said that it really hard to pick which questions are coming though as all the past papers we have looked at have had Women as either a),b) or c). So it looks like a favourite topic of the exam boards.

Would prefer questions on the Econemy or Treatment of Minorities.

Could Agriculture come up as the c) question? i always assumed it was just background to a few things like social classes - reich food estate and entailed farm law, i never thought it could be a whole essay?

I've done so much work but nothing to be able to write about agriculture, is there actually enough info for agriculture to come up as a c) question?

Thanks,
Alex.

I'm doing this paper on Monday as well, reasonably confident, frantically revising the key dates and stuff now.

My teacher gave us 5 years worth of papers, economic policy is piss, women's pretty easy. Last years Question C was about living standards which seemed pretty difficult.

Seen as the exams out of 60 marks and exams 60 mins = 1 mark per minute...

Good luck everybody!

mills, if you're still there or anyone else who is doing this module... Have you studied agriculture in great detail?, meaning in enough detail to do a 36 mark question?

Haven't done much on it in class at all, I made a few notes about it earlier. From my book that I have, there's not really that much on agriculture.

Have just looked at the spec and it doesn't mention anything about agriculture so..

Last year's question would have killed me had I got it! Holy frock, I hope nothing like that comes up on Monday. The thing about that living standards question is that if you hadn't known bucket-loads of statistics, it would have been almost impossible to argue your case. Gah...

Good luck everyone.

The living standard question wasn't too hard. You really didn't need a great deal of statistics.

Agriculture won't come up as a 36 marks. There simply isn't enough on it.

My college also says that religion is the most likely, with women probably coming up either as a 10 or 14 market.

Personally, I'd have preferred a 36-mark question on the economy. Religion is just too vague.

I really hope a question on living standards doesn't come up, i did it as a past paper practise question and found it so difficult!

What did everyone think of the exam?

I thought it was alright, the questions were not too bad.

OP

Hey

I agree, they weren't the worst thing ever, lets just pray we all did well

Good Luck with the results everyone!

Easssy peasy.

What did everyone put for the question b - about how the Nazi regime tried to undermine the churches?

I think I might not have done enough for that one - I included how the Nazis created the Nazi Protestant Church, how the bible was replaced by Mein Kampf, how Hitler set up the German Faith Movement (and how it wasn't successful) and how the Nazis dealt with opposition from the Confessional church. All in all about a 2/3 of a page.

I was pleased with the source question, easy peasy. The 36 mark one on the economy was easy too, I did 3 and a half pages for that one. You can actually get a C from getting full marks on the c questions alone.

Dodgy paper.

Think I probably got all of the 'answers' down, but my handwriting will undoubtedly hurt the examiners eyes. Additionally, I might have missed a few things out, and I'm pretty sure I screwed up on Question C.

Not fun.
