AQA AS Level History Unit 1B - Tudors (1483-1529):14th May 2013

Original post by Endless Blue

Don't worry, I didn't get 7 full points in! That would be literally impossible :tongue:

. I went really in depth on the nobility, finances and immediately after Bosworth (I think? Can't exactly remember, I wrote too much on that Q) and only had time to briefly mention the other factors in the conclusion, where I made a judgement saying "Overall he was very successful because of X and then also because of [those reasons]." The only thing I'm worried about is my lack of balance for the first question, but I did find it a hard one to balance anyway but ran out of time to fit in my second unsuccessful paragraph.

I'm sure you've done well :smile:

How many embargos on burgundy were there.

I only found 1 in the book yet I heard there were 2?

Just felt I could throw in some predictions as to what it coming up.

Since trade came up in January and they tend to avoid putting it in, and my history teacher thinks it is unlikely. She's a whizz at what's came up and her predictions are what I'm going by. We have a feeling that there will be a consolidation of power as question 1 and Wolsey's fall from power in probably going to be question 3

PROPHECY!!!!!

I would have preferred to have studied that, I find it more interesting and I've been doing the Nazis for like 3 years :/

12 marker - 2 points of difference, one point of similarity then conclusion assessing the overall difference. Use own knowledge throughout to explain why the views differ etc. (throw in knowledge wherever suitable, really).

24 marker- IMPORTANT: treat it as a normal 24 mark question in the style that you answer it, but then use the sources to develop your points or as evidence. So, e.g if Tudors was unit 2 (I know it isn't)... Henry VII was hugely successful in improving royal finances through doing XYZ. Source C also supports this......

Hope that helps a little, sorry for the poor explanation.
