OCR History GCSE (Paper 2, British Depth Study)

hi does any one have any tips for the history exam on wednesday ..........im doing britian 1890-1918
and i really stuggle with sources and the twelve marker

After reading examiners reports:
It's good to use context but make sure it's useful in backing up your point

Know the difference between message and purpose, and reliability and utility

There's no point quoting sources if you don't fully explain how that answers the question

Everyone can describe a source, and a lot of people do this when comparing two sources. Make sure you're always thinking about the message etc.

I doubt women suffrage will come up because the mock exams OCR sent to all the schools this year had women on them, so my teachers thinks it will be Liberal Reforms

Can you get the mock papers online?

Yeah which was two years ago... It would be a bit weird if they sent a mock out to the whole country on women, and then done the actual exam on it. However, no one knows, any of the three could come up, and i don't know wether you could get it online, my teacher gave it to me

Yeah we were told that too, but you need to relate to the sources so my teacher said he believes that they may have some linking to other areas! If the question was about the government in the period most sources could be on the liberal reforms with 1 on the other two topics to aid you when you write the final question!
