Edexcel GCE History A2 The United States 1917-54: Boom Bust & Recovery: Uni

So basically you only need a C to get an A overall? Im pretty sure you can do that! loool

but they have asked more social questions than economic boom ones since the new syllabus. Economic boom has only come up once so it is very likely to come up again. plus the question last year was social as well.

It will either be one of:

1. economic boom
2. Women
3. Rural vs Urban

In what time span you mean Nr 2 and 3. And for Rural vs Urban you also mean KKK kind of?

sorry I forgot it is 120 UMS. I actually mean like 73% of that 120 so a B

haha same I need a really high B to get a A overall. How did you do in your coursework?

For number 2 my teacher gave us one he made up which was, "The 19th amendment granting the vote launched a decade of change in the role of American women. How far do you agree with this statement?"

and for number 3 it will probably be all the factors that caused tension between urban and rural areas, e.g KKK, religion, Prohibition, women

Am slightly alarmed by the number of people predicting that women will come up , I've done no practice whatsoever for a question only on women, what sorts of questions do you think they could ask about them?

By boom we mean the boom in the 1920s.

Also what kind of question do you guys think could come up about anti-communism? they have already asked about the impact of McCarthyism so I was thinking it would be about the factors that caused anti-communism.

Also what question could they ask us about the WW2 apart from the boom after the War?

its because women has never come up before, whereas they have already asked about KKK, immigration, and prohibition. It could also be tension between rural vs urban areas.

here is an essay my teacher gave us for women: "The 19th amendment granting the vote launched a decade of change in the role of American women. How far do you agree with this statement?"

I've split it up into political, economic (employment), and new freedoms/changing attitudes - how the position of women improved and didn't improve in each area. I've just practiced the question 'to what extent to do you agree that the role of women improved in the 1920s?'. We're only predicting it because it hasn't been up before haha, but that doesn't mean it will so don't panic




Yeah I was thinking about the factors that caused anti-communisim.

And I've split WW2 into political, social and economic impact. My teacher gave us the question, 'to what extent do you agree there was a social revolution following ww2?' to practice.

Thanks- that helped, they're both fairly plausible questions.Looking at this thread and seeing the predictions is quite a shock I am still clinging on to a tiny inkling of hope that they will surprise us again and ask about opposition to the New Deal. I hope the economic boom comes up or I even think that the KKK might.

Oh no please dont say KKK, I think I might cry if that comes up! I completely skipped that out, I dont understand what kind of question they could ask about it apart from the one they have already asked in 2011. My teacher thinks it is most likely to be an economic boom since it has only come up once since the start of the new syllabus
