That African American question was so iffy

I was a bit thrown off by the state government bit and tbh probably didn't talk about the state government part enough. So I basically just did Federal gov v. AA activism. But I guess I talked about state a bit with Jim Crow laws and that, so hopefully it will be okay

Yeah the interpretations one was good was kinda expecting trade unions tbh. I did the women’s and African Americans. The women’s one was okay I think but I don’t think I wrote enough about each brand and state for African Americans did u mention all the branches and do equal content with state?

I thought it was alright. The interpretations was relatively easy compared to some others I have seen and the thematic questions were not bad. I did the African American and labour ones. What about you?

Yh I didn't really split into president supreme court or congress, I just said federal government. I definitely didn't talk enough about state governments because I don't really know enough - the only thing for states I did was Jim Crow laws and voting requirements in the early period and then the Arkansas thing after Brown v. Board

guys, im really worried bc on the booklets it asks you to put how many you used, i ended up using an extra one aside from the original booklet they give u but i only put i used one booklet in the box that asks for how many u used for both of them, does this mean the extra one won’t get marked?

i couldn’t tell!! I basically wrote about russian people generally rather than minorities…

the vagueness was AWFUL so i’m hoping they don’t penalise me for not taking the minorities approach

God it better not have been on minorities, I wrote the whole thing on like changes to the economy and industry/agriculture 😭

anyone else think the russia questions were just weird
like the 4th one was so vague ??

yeah, i really liked the interpretation question, and liked question 3 but QUESTIONS 2 and 4 😭😭

i ended up going with 4 but ‘the Russian Empire’ was so incredibly vague

i didn’t write about it either, and from what i’ve heard a lot of people have done the same? i’m hoping because ‘developments’ is so broad, OCR credits both interpretations of the question?
