I'm not going to do history but I've taken History AS and I'm not doing great at the moment, so any of you history experts got any tips for me? I'm doing Henry VIII and Russia in REvolution and USA in ASia for EDEXCEL.

I loved doing Russia, just make sure you read around the subject, and remember facts and figures. Aslong as you have a good structured answer and put loads of facts and figures in the examiner is gonna think you know your stuff :smile:

For henry VIII I just read the whole red book the night before and it worked got an A for that exam. Doing that makes the information more fresh? But I guess some would not recommend that. Just try not to fall asleep in class when learning about Wolsey

Hey guys

Whilst I'm not applying for history I just wanted to ask If anyone here is doing Edexcel History and the Kaiser to Fuhrer paper for A2 this year?

It's just that I'm really struggling with how to write these 30/40 mark answers.. don't even know how to plan!

Any help in writing the essay type questions would be great!

No think its fine! I've seen many people from previous years applying for straight History and the SSEES course as a back up cause it has lower entry requirements. Sure you'll be fine :biggrin:
