Edexcel GCSE History A Unit 3B War and the transformation of British Society 1931-51

Unfortunately I don't, I've only looked at the styles of past papers and used some of the textbooks I've already got - do you need any help with any in particular because I might be able to model some?

What would you write as an answer to this question?:

What can you learn from Source A about the Battle of Britain? (6 marks)

One thing I can learn from Source A about the Battle of Britain is the sheer enormity of a provoking assault of this scale.
I know this because the source specifically states 'the whole sky ahead seemed filled with aircraft'.
This further implies that there was significant defence systems imposed on behalf of Geman Luftwaffe within the Battle of Britain and matters of opposition were clearly defined in the sky to generate immense threat.

Another thing I can learn from the following source is that Luftwaffe planes flew in groups of copious numbers, proving easy to spot for British allies.
I know this because it states 'thirty in each formation'.
Therefore, there is further implication that the Luftwaffe had extreme weaknesses, so much so that the Battle of Britain became a significant advantage to the RAF because the copious formations presented an easy target, both for live shooting and mechanical radar systems.

Thank you. What if I wrote that the source suggests that RAF pilots were quite confident that they would win and seemed to enjoy the battle. The RAF pilot recalling the scene says that it was an "amazing sight" to see all the German planes. This shows that he was in awe and had no fear that he would be killed. Is that alright? I really liked your inferences.

can someone explain the battle of Britain to me i'm confused was it the invasion my sea or air, i understand why the British won and all that but not the actual event

How did everyone find the paper?

Really good because I had revised Battle of Britain, although I had some timing issues concerning the last question and didn't write as much as I would have liked to for it but I think I made up for it in the other questions. How about you?

The main topics are:

Effect of the Depression 1930s
Jarrow Crusade
Dunkirk
Battle of Britain
Blitz
Evacuation
Ministries (of information, for example)
Rationing
D-Day
Women
Elections - Labour vs Conservatives
Beverage Report: 5 Giants
Defeat of Germany
NHS

Can anyone think of any I've missed out?

Hi! I'm doing my last History exam on Tuesday, and I was wondering if this still applies has everything you need to know? Thank you!

You posted on a thread that is a year old but I'll help you out. For Tuesday, since Battle of Britain came up last year, it won't come up this year. Edexcel doesn't do the same topic in consecutive exams when it comes to Unit 3 History, it goes in a cycle.

However, the NHS, the Evacuation of Britain and the Blitz hasn't come up in a while (before 2010) so you should definitely prepare for that. Topics that you should also prioritise are: D-Day and defeat of Germany, Jarrow March, 1945 election and Women's roles during WW2. (they came up before 2012). So yes, the topics still apply but skim through sections that I haven't listed anyway, there's a rare chance that this years paper could be of a topic I haven't mentioned (eg Beveridge Report, Rationing, 1930 unemployment)

Lads, you know the question 3, is it causation or "how far do sources a and b support the evidence of source c"
