Well for 2019 it was about 79% for a 9 so its probably going to be around that

cold war was sooo delicious and anglo saxons and normans was pretty good too although for cold war the narrative account was a little weirdly worded like write a narrative account analysing soviet and us relations 1945-47 bit weird but lots to write tbf

Fr, that is such a weird question. But I think the examiner actually tried to make the questions answerable as 1945-47 is quite early in the time so hopefully everyone knows a lot about it as that is what people revised first.

I did Cold War and Elizabethan England and thought this paper was amazing!! :smile:

I was a bit upset after maths this morning but this has made me super happy although my hand now hates me!

I hope everyone else did really well! <3

i have honestly no memory because it was so long ago, but even if i did, i wouldn't want to tell you (reason why is answer to 2.).

knowing the questions and essentially cheating in your mocks won't help you in your actual GCSE. in fact, it will probably be detrimental to your actual grade as in the actual exam you won't have had the experience of going in blind and not knowing the questions.

revise all the cold war content, do practice questions - your teacher can probably give you a big list of them, and if not you can make them up (e.g. write a narrative account on the 3 conferences), and good luck for your actual GCSE
