How do you think they'd phrase a question about the economy? Definitely likely as the specification specifically mentions 'economic modernisation' as one of the main key themes in the 2nd reich, 1900-14.

I'd say they'd ask something along the lines of:
"To what extent did Wilhelmine Germany undergo economic transformation in the years 1900-14?"
Does anyone have access to a topic by topic set of questions for this exam?

I just tried to answer the controversy question for B From June 2011 for homework, and at 750 words it translates into just under 3 sides written out by hand. The teacher tells us the goal is about 5 or 6 sides -- I can't believe how little I have to say about this haha. PLEEEENTY of room for improvement it seems 
I hope your teacher's wrong, don't think it's possible for me to write that much in the time if I did it non-stop plus with time to think and highlight sources! lol
I've tried controversy B questions twice on Germany war blame under timed conditions, and both times managed to do 4 sides only

How has everyone been revising for this exam? I'm a bit undecided on how best to revise... I think I might order the 'myrevisionnotes' book soon though
I've been doing overview diagrams to organise info in each area e.g. hyperinflation and then typed up notes to expand on headings I've put in there
When I've finished my notes and get time to, i'll try uploading them to here
Original post by WilliamSlim
Doing past papers for my teacher to mark (only 2 students in class) and answering the key questions in the Collier and Layton books, as well as mindmaps for the different periods and possible exam questions.
I thought our class was small! We have 4 people

My class is 20 people which does drag class time out. We've not finished the syllabus and that's even with skipping the Nazi controversy!

I think that is why my teacher is making us only answer the WW1 controversy. We're skipping the other one which apparently saves us around 5 weeks revision which I quite like.
How are you finding the course?

Not to worry to be honest -- like CD223 said, quantity isn't quality. The exam paper seems to fit less writing in it anyway, so that's fine! As long as we make enough good points to be honest.

You're all so lucky, I have to do both controversies!
Oh no! We didn't get the choice - my teacher made us do the World War One controvery - which do you find easiest? Have you finished the course?

No, that'd be fine
Oh cool - thank you! Drop me a PM or quote me on here and I'll be sure to add them. When my notes I've been making are complete I'll also be adding mine!

The paper isn't very generous on space I must admit. But it's a good indication that they're looking for shorter, concise answers that have specific detail rather than long answers that waffle!

I find the WW1 controversy easier, but we haven't done the other one fully yet
so behind!!! Wish we had just done 1 to be honest!Original post by angellayerr

so behind!!! Wish we had just done 1 to be honest!Oh right! I would read ahead into the chaptor on wartime Germany if I were you
In terms of revision - just make sure you choose one controversy to revise. That may well be WW1 if it's easier for you.
