I'm doing edexcel, Russia 1856-1964, the deadline is tomorrow, kill me. I have a very important question though I hope someone sees this: do quotes count towards the word count? I'm about 200 words over in both of them and I've already chopped so much out and clearly I have little time left!

Wow your deadline is pretty early! And sorry but I'm pretty sure that quotes are included in the word count! Oh you lucky thing, I'm quite curious to know about Russian history! I hope it all goes well, do let us know :smile:

I'm with Edexcel and doing Civil Rights 1865-1980. We've only covered the background of the topic and haven't actually started writing it :smile:

hoping to get full marks so I can get an A* this year, though I can't see it being an easy task with the exam. :eek:

What a coincidence! I'm actually doing Civil Rights 1865-1992 for my exam lol (I'm on OCR) hope that goes well for you! I find that coursework usually goes better for me than exams so I'm hoping to use that to my advantage, hehe! I'm aiming for a high A *hopefully* so that I can get an A overall - here's hoping! :smile:

What are you doing for the exam hun?

Haha no worries lovely! Oh wow! I actually looked at that last year for the exam, I agree very interesting! Though we looked up to the 60's, yeah there's a lot to learn. We on the other hand have to look at a period of over 100 years for the CR paper and it terrifies me *shivers* so I've decided making all of my revision content now will serve me well!

History is actually my biggest worry out of my other subjects tbh, I just can't seem to get a good grade yet even though it's only the beginning of the year!

Hi, I'm with OCR doing about Napoleon. I've done two drafts of the interpretation section and am working on the investigation part which is due in next week and haven't actually started yet!! :/

yeah it was early but to be fair we've been doing it for a term now, I don't think I could handle it if it was pushed over Christmas too :tongue:

I managed to get rid of about 600 words on one and 400 on another but it was the hardest thing to do, I felt like I was chopping my whole argument out. It's over now though (just need to print off a few things again after realising right after I walked out of school I had mistakes on the bibliography etc!).
Honestly I think Russian history is very interesting, I just wouldn't care if I never heard of the 1917 revolutions again in my life :biggrin:

much harder than I expected, especially starting it, but in the end I am hoping it will be fine. I never want to think about it again haha.

I'm on OCR and I'm doing America's involvement in Vietnam! It is absolutely fascinating and I love it as a subject!
I've only done interpretations so far. At first, I found it really difficult but I cracked it by the end.
Starting investigation when I go back after Christmas. :smile:

Can someone please please please help me with my coursework. I feel like I am going to shoot myself. I've got to do a 2000 word essay on what factors changed Russia in the years of 1855-1964. I'm going to talk about 'war' and the 'role of individuals', but I can't think of anything else that I can talk a lot about. I only need 3 main points.
I was thinking that my third can be 'opposition to the government', but I feel like that links into to war quite a lot. So if anyone else has any other ideas, that would be great!
