HAA test cambridge help pls

Wow! That's impressive! I'm aiming to send everything by next week. Did you have to send 2 pieces of written work?

Oh no, I'm so sorry! *hugs*

It's a trapped nerve that's making my back spasm, I found out today. Getting referred to private healthcare doctors but it won't be fixed by the 2nd. Now the choice of spaced out on pain killers or suffering.

trust me that's my worst fear as well, if I sit down can think of nothing and realise I'm actually really bad at history 😂 Things that help to calm me down: Stop yourself overthinking your points. I don't mean don't think of them, but more if all you can think of at that point are the obvious points just write them down. I always fret over whether my points are sophisticated enough and that often blocks me. Taking deep breaths is a classic but often helps 😂 My old history teacher once advised my class to mentally tell ourselves that we do know how to do the set task. Sometimes you've just got to give yourself a mental shake I guess :P A bit strange and if you have anxiety probably not the best thing to do but I imagine the worst case scenario that could happen and rationalise it through. I sit down at the desk and can't think of anything to write? Ok, but it's only for an hou, after that I never have to think about it again, and I can tell everybody I know that I actually wrote 10 pages :P Also work out how long you have to write sections; it's much less stressful when you know if you have time to write in another idea etc Unfortunately I don't have any solid advice because it's all mental stuff really - what works for me might not be at all good for you I know some people are helped by chewing gum etc tho

lol you only got 3 less than me i dont think its really gonna matter about individual marks (once you get that close) considering applying for hispol i may have peaked too early tho

FELLOW NEWNHAM HISTORY APPLICANT HELLO!!!

Hello :-) You're the first Newnham History applicant I've come across !!! Are you applying for a single/joint honours?

Sneaky Cambridge with their sneaky exams.

Well, at least it's on time! I sent off all my forms this week, including written work 😐

Wow! That's impressive! I'm aiming to send everything by next week. Did you have to send 2 pieces of written work?

*hugs back*

I was spaced out on pain-killers from the ages of 11-16, and I personally prefer suffering because now I've not got much of an immune system.

Are you doing one?

I'm applying for single was debating histpol but just decided to do it straight in the end 😀 Wbu?? (I would go back through the thread but my internet is about to give up I think ( )

I've only found one other Newnham applicant full stop tbh 😂 can you imagine getting into a college with such an amazing library though 😍



Cambridge are snakes confirmed 🐍🐍

Wooo go you! My excuse is that I can't print/photocopy anything until I get back to school on Monday 😉
What titles/grades did you do/get on the essays you sent in?? (Don't have to tell me if I'm too nosy aha!)

Haha, true! They say that anything over 50% is good, but my academic record isn't strong (I had under 50% attendance from Year 7-Year 10 and no support/teaching for my GCSE subjects, only got 3 A*s and then had issues with my chronic pain syndrome during AS exams. Although I got 100% in Paper 1 History and 90+% in my other exams, I had issues during my Paper 2 History and came out with a very high B) so I really need to make up for it.

at least it sounds like you have some pretty serious stuff you can put on your ECF form tho which should help your application

and did you by any chance do the British Empire (1857-1914) for Unit 1? as i also got 100% in that and majorly flopped the other unit as well lol

Boys are totally ew but they can be pretty, lets be honest. See, I'm the worst - I basically always get up early despite being a morning hater as whenever I can sleep in I'm like "But I could fill this time with a run..."

One of my old favourite history teachers left in Year 9, and everyone in his class considered stalking him, tbh. He's the one that made me realise that I was actually ok at history.

I'll give you that 😂 I have to say although I hate running early morning walks are one of the best things in the world especially if it's as dawns breaking (what I like about winter as well tbh you don't have to be up really early to see sunrise!)Inspiring teachers are a blessing tbh God bless 'em

Woah that's awesome! Yeah I am, and my title is "To what extent were Enlightenment ideas and the work of French Philosophers responsible for the outbreak of the French Revolution?".

Kanye West should call out Cambridge too. (I love Taylor, I'm a huge fan of her, don't think I'm a hater, I've been to four of her concerts, it was just an obvious joke)
Of course, good excuse 😉😉😉
Oh my god, um. One was a source question about the effectiveness of Wolsey (times mock exam, 20/25) and one was just a regular essay evaluating whether the English Reformation was a result of Protestantism (25/25)

Haha no it's fine, we both have things to deal with in life.

Interesting and insightful, really? Thanks so much! It was inspired by Victor Hugo's 'Les Mis' because I'm kind of obsessed with it. I'm struggling to find high-quality sources, though.

Can i just say how much I love your essay topics!?!?!

Are you by any chance submitting your exam paper for one of the submitted essay pieces?
