Edexcel History Unit 1-International Relations-6th June 2016 Exam

^ I mentioned the Berlin airlift too, but I ran out of time on that one
I looked through the paper and wanted to cry but I started rambling on so hopefully I did ok (I thought it was hard, but not impossible). For the choose questions I couldn't remember much about Warsaw Pact so I did Prague spring, and I also didn't do the carter doctrine (but I sort of made up the Helsinki conference one, I had no idea haha).
That makes it sound worse than it actually was, I think it was ok.

I wrote about Berlin blockade and airlift in the last 13 marker. Also talked about how the putting missiles on Cuba resulted in greater focus on Berlin as the Berlin Wall was a way of also detouring the rest of the worlds view of what the Soviet Union was doing. Also mentioned the 1963 Berlin speech by Kennedy.
Honestly think I got around 8 or 7 marks

Oh no! - you shouldn't have written about the airlift. The years in the 13 marker were from 1958-1963. The berlin airlift/blocakade was from 1948-9.

Does anyone know the grade boundaries for the exam?
I've calculated worst case/best case scenario marks and I just need to see what grade I should be expecting from the paper

I knew that. It's just when I saw refugee crisis I just linked it with it. However I did say that 2,000 were leaving per day into the west and it was a clear indication that capitalism was the more wanted ideology.
Do U think that I wrote for my last paragraph is okay?

46/47 a*

I found it really easy but come on. It's unit 1. Shouldn't the A* boundary be low ? Everyone in my school found it challenging. lol.

Hopefully it will be lower. Is your school a good school?
