OCR Elizabethan History AS May 22nd 2014

Original post by vanessaodris

Hey! Is anyone else sitting this paper tomorrow? If so, what in particular have you been revising and have any of your teachers said anything about what they predict may come up? :smile:

Hi, I'm also sitting this paper. Marriage and succession probably won't come up as it's been in the last 2 papers but finance and economy is almost definitely coming up as it hasn't come up either of the last 2.

hi! wait are you definitely doing the same board as me? :') because for OCR marriage hasnt come up for a while or poverty and vagrancy, but MQS, Spain and parliament has. Sorry if you are doing the same as me and I've missed something :tongue:

F981! It probs is the same :') I think last May's paper was mqs (babington plot and something else) and something to do with privy council. What are you hoping does/doesn't come up? I'm not keen on poverty and vagrancy but I think it'll deffo come up!

Mines F961? :s-smilie:

Mine has broader questions where you talk about different events of her reign? Eg How far did the issue of marriage and succession affect Elizabeth I's foreign policy from 1558 to 1587?

I'm doing the same exam as you! I hate guessing questions as you never know if they'll decide to do the same unit 2 papers in a row... especially as there's no January papers anymore!
Finance/economy is what I'm greatly focusing on as I hate it but have a feeling it will come up... I'd love if the problems of 1558 came up!

Don't seem many of us doing this exam lol. Yeah, marriage and succession came up in the last 2 exams though so I guess we probably we get it as I doubt they'd do 3 in a row. Same I'm focusing on finance and economy although they seem quite good at twisting that topic to an awkward question. Yeah problems in 1558 is my best area so I'd love it to come up too, but if it does come up I reckon it will be in an awkward format. I'm really not confident on parliament though. It's a difficult topic to pinpoint aspects of. I'm just so glad that in this exam we get a choice of questions :biggrin:

Do you have any good resources any of the topics?
