I majorly f***ed this paper up.
For one thing, black power is SO specific and was a first since they'e had this specification. I revised it that morning too, and remember thinking it would be odd AF if they asked a question on that, as all of the mark schemes focused on the AA CR movement on the whole or against MLK or BTW. My textbook had literally one small paragraph on Black Panthers, I had barely more than a sentence in my notes from class, and none of the mark schemes went into any depth for it either. Yet the way that question was framed, you'd have to dedicate a full paragraph to the Black Panthers alone...
I mentioned the KKK, the black codes (NO dates! just that they prevented black people being on juries and made it difficult to vote even though they had the franchise) and vaguely mentioned the government/supreme court. I couldn't remember any laws or cases, just mentioned there was a ruling of separate but equal, and loving v virginia later allowing interracial marriage. Somehow I managed to write three-four paragraphs out of this... I must have padded it with A LOT of waffle and repetition.
I couldn't remember anything about women's rights other than Comstock, Roe v Wade, Feminine Mystique, the pill, the CRA of god knows which year which paid for children in some way or the other, so I didn't answer it. I knew there was an equal pay act, but didn't know when. I was hopeless tbh.
I revised NA upto to the end of 1950 or beginning of 1960, but remembered NOTHING. No dates, no names of events, not even vaguely when the event happened. Unforttunately, NA's mostly gained their rights from 1970 onwards which is where I stopped revising that morning -_-
I think it's going to be a D (I'll be lucky to get a C!).
I'm doing 3 A-Levels and it's the ONLY paper where I had a massive blank for even a bit of it, let alone all of it! Really gutted as I wanted to get at least a B on this paper.
