OCR History GCSE (Paper 2, British Depth Study)

Haha no, are you doing medicine through time?
No I havent, I do OCR higher maths as well so we've already finished luckily. It was so hard though. Are you with edexcel?

Yeah i am doing medicine through time.
Lucky! Well not that it was hard but lucky you have finished! Yeah i am. It will be interesting to see how it goes and peoples reactions as the last exam didnt go down well. What other exams do you have left?

Hi guys,
Im doing the Paper 2 on Britain 1890-1918. I was wondering whether anyone knew what the topics were of the last 3 OCR past papers please? (January 2015, June 2014 and January 2014)
If you can help thank you very much

June 2014 was Britain at war I believe (correct me if I'm wrong anyone), not sure about jan 2014 but I don't think there was a January one in 2015

Hi Molly, you might find the following podcasts I've done useful, plus there is an extra module I've created for students (see the bottom link)

Our teacher gave us a sheet about the 16 mark question, hope it helps a bit:

Plan your answer
consider the "body of evidence" across all of the sources (although you are not expected to refer to them all in your answer)

-must focus on how far the evidence in the sources support/oppose the statement

-group supporting/opposing statements together (do not just go through every source saying if it agrees or disagrees!)

-offer a "summary judgement" in the introduction giving a direct answer to the question and listing the sources you will be using to support/oppose the statement.

-Give other factors not in sources to support/oppose statement

- make links between evidence

-put sources in context and use own knowledge to evaluate the sources

Yes I'm unsure about this . The past questions are all on women, Youth or immigration but there is a lot of info on the WW2 stuff and the NHS. Do you think there'll be a question just on this?

does anyone know what the predictions are for the 1939-75 section? as in what hasn't come up in the last 5 years? Also, does anyone know if the impact of ww2 is a topic on it's own, alongside women, youth and immigration? thaannksss

Women, youth and immigration are the 3 topics, one of which will come up. The NHS and stuff like that is weaved into all 3 topics. For example, the paper could be on immigration, but the NHS ties in with it as many came to Britain to work for the NHS.

I was looking at a paper the other day; it was about youth, but a source was published in 1968. This linked to Enoch Powell's speech and his anti-immigration ideas. So be warned, although a paper may be on one topic, aspects of the other 2 may come into play. I'm quite stressed about history too, but good luck! As long as you've revised, you'll do fine

I need to work on the 16 mark question - I ran out of time in my mock and got 10/16 :s How long do you guys spend on it? Thanks!

Thank you so much. That makes a lot of sense now!
Also do you know what year that paper was from, the one about the youths?

As for the 16 marker, I heard that it's best to spend about 30-45 minutes on it, I'm not completely sure though... :/

June 2010! I was annoyed because our teacher gave us that paper, but then took it back off us -.-

I think my teacher said 30 minutes, I spent about 20 minutes in the mock and ran out of time. Going to save about 40 mins I think because even if I finish early, I can go back and check.
