PEEL x2 and a conclusion, you need a very consistent line of argument and try not to write too much, analysis is more important than a narration of what happened :smile:

a paragraph on each factor
- make 3 points on significance / importance

conclusion
- come to a fully reasoned conclusion comparing the two factors in terms of specific aspects of significance

this is the structure i was taught, hope it’s helpful

I may be overthinking but my 20 marker the actual essay was really good but for my plan I wrote barely anything I hope my examiner doesn’t have some unconscious bias because of that

I expected double postwar but double DDR for Germany? Baf news for a lil guy like me who had barely revised East Germany. Made up loads of statistics but it's fine I think BC my 20 marker was solid

The first question for Germany was so dodgy (like wtf were you meant to write for that 10 marker), but the second question was alright. Kind of waffled a bit with the 10 marker because idk anything about East German society but the 20 marker was fine. I didn't finish my conclusion though so hopefully they don't knock off too many marks for that

One of my friends wrote about West Germany accidently for the 10 marker, do you reckon they'll get a zero or still get a few marks? Cause obviously they are having a bit of a mental breakdown right now (and yes this is actually for a friend, I know how it looks lol)

Honestly, I don't know why they use the German acronyms, like it is an exam for English speaking students? Do they just want people to fail lol. But tbf it is only 10 marks, like only 5% of the whole A level so you can still do really well anyway. Just enjoy the fact that history is done now and try not to stress about results day
